"Let us protect our girls from people who want to ruin their lives. As one of the current leaders, we are headed for retirement and the people who will take over from us are these girls. Ruining their lives today means we will not have future female leaders," Wanga said.
She told girls to be focused on their education to avoid being hoodwinked into premature sex.
"I want our girls to stand firm against those who want to defile them. Let them focus on their books," Wanga said.
Dr Osogo said they are committed to ensuring girls who dropped out of school due to teen pregnancies return to school.
She said the objective of the programme is to ensure girls are retained in schools.
"We want every girl to acquire an education. That is why we are supporting teen mothers to return to school," Osogo said.
The outgoing Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi urged girls and boys in schools to be determined and embrace the spirit of excellence as they pursue their studies.
