Member of Parliament (MP) for Pusiga in the Upper East Region, Hajia Ayamba Laadi has identified high poverty rate and early girl child marriage as the causes of the high school drop-out rate among girls in the area.
She has therefore called for an all stakeholder approach to deal with the situation which she noted is resuming alarming proportions.
The Pusiga MP had supported farmers most of whom are women groups involved in dry season vegetable farming in the area with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and seedlings to increase their income to ameliorate poverty in the area.
According to her, she had provided tricycles for some men to improve their income levels for the same reasons as the women towards their children, particularly the female ones.
The MP has also contributed to enhancing education through the provision of educational facilities across the district, eliminating most schools-under-trees out of the way.
