**My Appointment: A Call to Serve Humanity**
A few weeks ago, I was honored to be nominated by the NYSC (Gombe )to represent the state at the Girl Child Education Conference, held at the Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja. Initiated by the Nigeria Governors' Forum, the conference aimed to promote girl child education in Nigeria. Each state, including the FCT, was represented by one female corps member, making us 37 ambassadors in total.
On October 11, 2024, I was unveiled and inducted as the Pioneer NYSC Girl Child Ambassador for Gombe State, a responsibility I do not take lightly. As an ambassador, I am committed to advocating for, encouraging, and promoting girl child education in Gombe State and beyond. I will collaborate with relevant stakeholders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and political figures to achieve this goal. I trust that the Commissioner for Education, the First Lady, and the Governor of Gombe state Gombe Statewill support my initiatives.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Nysc Gombe Statefor their confidence in me. Thank you for believing in me.
To my mentors, Lawal O. Olohungbebe, Abdulrasheed Saadudeen Tope Fatiu, your training and guidance in community development have been invaluable. Special thanks to CELF - KWARA, Sho pen online, Express, and Inside Ilorin for celebrating me in grand style. I am proud to hail from Kwara State.
My family’s support has been immeasurable. Thank you, Maami, Ba Mii, and my siblings, for your prayers, motivation, and unwavering support. I am truly blessed to have you all. Yakub Adebayo JamiuBint YakubYakub HammedFatimah Yaqub
I would also like to acknowledge my teachers and lecturers from my primary, secondary, and higher education for the invaluable knowledge they imparted. My gratitude extends to Trendsville MediaCampusGist, the Pioneer Set of Mass Communication at Kwara State Polytechnic, the Department of Mass Communication, and NYSC B1. I am also thankful to my social media family.
Let us all remember that “When you educate a girl child, you educate the nation.” Together, let’s promote girl child education. Thank you, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NYSC, and Gombe State.
God bless our dear nation, Nigeria.
