It is not everyday that a foreign lawmaker takes on the challenge of helping Nigerian citizens when the Nigerian politicians are lax on the topic.
A UK lawmaker, Lord John David Taylor of Warwick and member, House of Lords in the United Kingdom Parliament, has shocked many, as he has pledged to invest in Nigerian girls.
Taylor described Nigerian Women as industrious, focused and goal-oriented, and promised to begin a project for the enhancement of the fortunes of the girl child in Nigeria.
He said this on Tuesday in London at the launch of the one-hundred-and-ninety-page book entitled; “Beyond Beauty” written by the award-winning author Dr Blessing Agbomhere.
