Posted by admin | 8 years ago | 2,528 times
More than 50,000 Nigeria girl children die annually due to complications relating to wrong and poorly done abortion across the country.
This is due to lack of education and awareness available to the girl child.
The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) Ebonyi State Chapter disclosed that majority of the victims were young school girls who fell victim of pressures relating to adolescence stage as well as lack of sensitization.
Speaking recently at the awareness campaign organized by the committee on Girl-child Education at Model Girls Secondary School, Ugwuachara Ebonyi State, NMA Chairman Dr. Esike Chidi called on Female Students to take their studies very serious and avoid all distractions that often lead to pre-marital sexual activities which have been the major prevalent causes of unwanted pregnancies in girl children.
