The Federal Government has been urged to closely monitor ministries and agencies responsible for the implementation of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme, to ensure that funds earmarked for it is utilised for the benefit of children, especially the indigent ones.
Gift Chiamaka Ogbonna, the executive director/founder, The Eden Oasis Humanitarian Foundation (TEOHF), made the call during a “Feed the Child” project, organised by the foundation to reach out to indigent families in Abia State, to mark the 2023 Children’s Day.
