“The federal, state and local governments need to be united on this. My goal is that no child should be deprived of the basic right that they have.

“So, I am campaigning for this and I hope that all my Nigerian brothers and sisters can also go to school and learn.”

Malala gained prominence after she was shot by a Taliban gunman speaking up on the right of a girl child to be educated on October 9, 2012.
