“Last year, we had 90 percent of girls participating in music and drama, we call upon all stakeholders to encourage our boys to participate fully in this category since it’s not a girl’s thing,” Musila said.
He called upon teachers to be serious in mentoring the boy child by engaging them adding that it is the high time that they should be fully empowered.
