Edutainment Communicator and Veteran Broadcaster, Ms Debrah Ogazuma made the call Thursday in Lokoja at the 8th Annual Conference of Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP) with the theme: “Nigeria: Tackling Insecurity, Power Deficit, and Transitioning to Digital Economy.”

According to her it has become obvious that since the capture of Chibok girls,  the girl-child education has been seriously threatened.

Ogazuma, who regretted the impact of the abduction of the Chibok girls and more similar cases  to the girl child,  lamented  that the most attacks on the educational institutions were targeted at the females .

She called on the authorities to work towards putting an end that  even as urged them to  put  in place measures for  healing when such girls regain freedom from their adaptors.

To  the media, she urged not to remain silent rather work assiduously towards changing the narrative through their reportage.

Speaking on digital economy, Ogazuma who insisted that Nigeria must follow the trend of digitalization for economic growth, regretted that power deficiency has been a major issue.

She noted that the future is driven by innovation and full of opportunities for expanding digitally, stressing  that Nigeria must engage the younger generations in order not to be left out.

"Is Nigeria going to allow insecurity, power deficiency to constitute huge block for the emerging land scape of its economy?" she queried.

Proffering solution Ogazuma stated that traditional method of involving traditional rulers reporting and fishing out possible dangerous elements seeking entrance into their community must be reactivated.

Communities she said should do more to ensure  that they are not totally  helpless.

On power, she called for replication of setting up of small power plants by Communities which she said has been done in some communities within states in the country.
