Vice President Kashim Shettima says each child that stays out of school is a liability Nigeria will pay for one day.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has warned that every out-of-school child is a potential future threat to Nigeria.
“We must therefore remember that the child who remains out of school today will be a threat to their peer in the classroom tomorrow, and we cannot afford to turn away from this reality, and the need for creative and innovative solutions is now more present than ever.” “The stakes are too high for us to hesitate. The risk posed by each out-of-school child should concern us all, and what we need is a concerted, multi-sectoral approach,” he said.Zeroing in on the importance of girl child education, the vice president said it contributes directly to national development.
“These gains are, however, at risk unless we intensify our interventions to reach every girl, particularly in areas where barriers remain strongest.
