Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, has told his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, that his administration will fix the out-of-school children’s problem.
Tinubu, who said this on Thursday during his meeting with Macron at the Palais des Élysée in France on his State visit, reiterated his administration’s dedication to prioritising education for Nigerian children, and to tackle the country’s out-of-school crisis through innovative solutions.
Tinubu, while sharing his administration’s plans to reintegrate school-age children into classrooms via return-to-class initiatives and skills development programmes, highlighted the critical role of motivation and skill-building as part of the government’s broader strategy to address the country’s educational challenges.
The Nigerian President who is accompanied by his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, told Macron and France First Lady Brigitte Macron that Nigeria’s future development depends on fostering a well-educated population.
The Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement issued on Thursday after Tinubu’s meeting with Macron, said, “President Tinubu Commits to Returning Out-of-School Children to Classrooms While Equipping Them for the Future.
“To help those who are older and have been out of school for a while, we will promote skills development.”
Tinubu acknowledged that insecurity in some regions has impacted school attendance but reassured, “We are gradually repopulating classrooms, and skills development is essential to bridge the gaps.”
He said that the ongoing efforts to improve security across Nigeria include using “kinetic” strategies to restore peace and security in the country.
He said, “With continued effort, we will achieve greater stability,” Tinubu adding, “We had a very good harvest this year, and as more farmers return to the fields, we anticipate improved stability in food production and supply.”
Amid worsening hardship and hunger in Nigeria, Tinubu said, “No child should go to bed hungry in the 21st century.”
