The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has advocated for the rights of the girl-child to education.
The first class traditional ruler made the call while addressing the people of the state, shortly after he led the Eid prayer at the Kofar Mata Central Eid ground in Kano on Tuesday.
Sanusi urged political leaders at all levels to give priority to female education as they did with their male counterparts.
The Emir called on the people of the state to continue to pray against banditry, kidnapping and other vices.
