The Young Women Christian Association of Nigeria (YWCA) has sought a piece of land from the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to build a hostel for stranded young girls in Abuja.

Its National President, Mrs. Hwongchun Majek, said yesterday that the association needs N1.2 billion to enable it build a secretariat in Abuja.

Mrs. Majek decried an increasing rate of cohabitation among young girls, adding that the hostel would cushion the effect of high rent in Abuja.

She said: “We want to build our hostel and secretariat here in Abuja to enable us reach out to girls who come into town without having anybody to stay with at a rent not more than N2000 monthly.

The secretariat would include an organisational office for YWCA, hostel for short term stay, skill acquisition centre, meeting and training halls, among others.
