Scoale Entertainment, REDI Nigeria and the Hacey
in partnership with Access Bank host the
inaugural edition of the Queens for Queens Benefit
Dinner. The Summit which is scheduled to hold is
on the 27th of December at the Oriental Hotel is
themed “Lending a Voice to the Emancipation of
the Girl Child”.
For several centuries, the girl child has suffered
marginalization, disregard and undermining. She
has been the victim of rape, early marriage,
kidnap, abuse, slavery and several other vices.
The importance and significance of her
empowerment has been underestimated. Whilst
she enjoys several privileges in some parts of the
world, she is still considered to be disadvantaged
in most parts of the world, Nigeria inclusive. She
is still being stereotyped and restricted by various
glass ceilings that the society has created. Many
times, she is told she will not amount to much or
nothing at all and she has believed it for many
years, thereby restricting herself to the confines
of society’s dictates. With over 20 million girls in
Nigeria between the ages of 10 and 19, it is
imperative that the movement for their
emancipation is unhindered.
This is the purpose for this concert: to celebrate
the girls who have broken free and to empower
the others to do same. The dinner will be
highlighting issues concerning the gender
inequality facing the girl child in Nigeria. The
REDI Education Development Initiative (an
initiative that provides education grant and
mentorship to young girls in rural areas across
Nigeria) will be launched and funds will be raised
to invest in the lives of a hundred less privileged
girls with N100,000:00 educational grant per child
per cycle.
The event which is strictly by invitation, will have
in attendance CEOs, entertainers and beauty
queens who believe in and support the
empowerment of the girl child. For more
information on sponsoring a child or being a part
of this dinner, please contact the Project Director

(REDI Education Development Initiative) is an
initiative established by SCOALE Entertainment,
designed to contribute to the education of
children in rural societies across Nigeria.
In this scheme, corporate organizations,
celebrities and interested individuals sponsor a
child in the rural areas with a minimum of
₦100,000 for a year. This will cover the tuition
and materials required by each recipient for the
academic year.
