Education

Our country today has the highest number of out-of-school children in the world today. Our inequality has worsened, our misery index has worsened... #2019debate https://t.co/b6lQiA7Eqj

Our children remain our greatest asset, let's sacrifice for them, invest in their education and wellbeing and bequeath to them a better Nigeria. -PO #happychildrensday

“Okwute Ndigbo made a landmark decision the previous governments lacked the will to take. He waded into the problems facing schools in the area of provision, renovation, and reconstruction of mindset and motivation of teachers.” https://t.co/99JnKD6vqh

Today, at a breakfast meeting with the Chief Executive of Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, Rosie Glazebrook, in Lagos State, I emphasize the importance of education as a critical key to national development. https://t.co/yH7JBuv8Fc

I am delighted to be here. Let me first express my sincere thanks to the Columbia Africa Business Club and the Black Law Students Association at Columbia University. My profound appreciation to Nexus Uzoma Sea and Emmanuel Osula, who curated this event. https://t.co/JR8m5ry3bf

We are challenged by high youth unemployment, which stands at 33.3%; 54% for the youth; and 20 million out-of-school-children. We must give this country back to the Nigerian youths. Half of our 200 million people are below the age of 30.

On this year's commemoration of World Teachers Day, I applaud all teachers in Nigeria for their sacrifices in ensuring that Nigerian students, at all levels of learning, receive good educational and moral formation.

To have almost 20 million of our children out of school and roaming the streets is utterly unacceptable. Nigerian lives matter. Nigeria lives must not be wasted. -PO #POAtLBSNigeria

Twenty million out of school children is a dire national crisis. As part of our Marshall Plan for Education,

We must fund education more robustly and holistically by tweaking the operational modalities of UBEC and TETFund. In funding education, we will pursue the global best practices and standards within available resource.

TETFund resources must be re-directed to funding of the Universities and other higher institutions robustly with a view to ending the perennial strikes by University Staff and workers. -PO #POAtLBSNigeria
