The World Bank, in partnership with the federal government, has finalised plans to build 30 schools across the 13 local government areas of Nasarawa State, aimed at addressing the issue of out-of-school children.

The initiative includes the construction of 15 senior secondary schools and 15 senior primary schools.

Aishatu Aliyu-Isoga, Nasarawa State project coordinator of the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) project, disclosed this during advocacy visits to traditional leaders in the state’s three senatorial zones.

Represented by her deputy, Juliana Policarp, she further explained that the students would also receive training in life skills, particularly those re-entering education through the initiative, to promote self-reliance in society.

Meanwhile, the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has announced collaboration with the Nasarawa State Government to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the state.

UBEC reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive education across primary schools in Nigeria during a capacity-building workshop on inclusive education held in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

Dr Hamid Bobboyi, the Executive Secretary of UBEC, reiterated that despite the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act of 2004, which mandates free and compulsory basic education for every child in Nigeria, a significant number of children remain unenrolled in schools.

He said UBEC aims to address this issue by working closely with state governments to ensure all children have access to education.
