Senate pushes for national summit on out-of-school children

The Senate on Wednesday called for the convocation of a national stakeholders’ summit to address the issue of out-of-school children in the country.

This followed the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Education on the compelling need to tackle the challenge of out-of-school children in the country.

The Chairman of the committee, Senator Usman Adamu, who presented the report at the plenary in Abuja, said the committee had considered the submissions of the Federal Government on the challenge of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
