The
National Council of Catholic Women Organisation of Nigeria on Thursday warned
against the alarming drop of male-child in education.
With
the drop, the group noted that in the next 10 years, there would be a scarcity
of quality husbands in the country.
The
organisation National President, Chief Felicia Onyeabo, stated this on Thursday
at a briefing to herald the inauguration of Cor Mariae College, Abuja. The
inauguration holds on Friday (today).
She
said, “The future of this country is going to be very bleak for the male-child.
How many girls do you see hawking clothes? Go to Onitsha, they are all men. We
have looked round and have come to see that there is a neglect of boys in
education. Who are the armed robbers on the streets? They are mostly the
boys. Let us concentrate on training boys.
