Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Ms Ekole said they discussed various issues concerning education and the welfare of children.

“We had some interesting discussions on UNICEF’s support to Zimbabwe but more importantly it was great to hear the vision of the Speaker, especially on education,” she said.
