Morenike Kasim from Asa and Oluwabukola Rajin from Ilorin South identified bullying and sexual assaults as other forms of child abuses prevalent in their localities.

The programme themed “State Of The Nigerian Girl Summit Songs 2022” is aimed at documenting various issues of child abuse in the state.
