Chapter Ten

Government Girls Secondary School, Bama is located on the outskirts of Bornu State. With a population of over two thousand, it is clearly one of the biggest girls’ only secondary schools in the state and entire Northern Region. This is because the education of the girl child in the region is not taken seriously by many. Some were given out in marriage as early as when they were nine years old. It is not also strange for a girl child to be betrothed as soon as she was born. Female children were largely regarded as merely for procreation and child bearing so the few who sent their children to Government Girls Secondary School, Bama were the elites from Bornu and the surrounding states.
