Towards the end of his speech at the 66th National Council on Education (NEC) meeting in Abuja, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu flayed the states for the continuous rise in the number of out-of-school children in the country.
More precisely, Adamu was concerned that states were not complementing what the federal government, through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) was doing in tackling the out of school children in the country.
UBEC has instituted a wide range of programmes, activities, and services which target the improvement of access, ensuring quality and equity in UBE service delivery to broaden access and create learner-specific opportunities for all classes of the OOSC population.
