The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, has revealed the intention of the Federal Government to phase out the phenomenon of out-of-school children plaguing the country.
This is as he lauded the Akwa Ibom State governor, Umo Éno, for basic education infrastructural development in the state.
This was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen by the Press Unit of Government House, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Sunday.
The minister who was in Uyo for the University of Lagos 1984 Law Class reunion, made the comment during a tour of the remodelled Christ the King School on Wellington Bassey Way, Uyo.
Mamman said he was impressed by the initiative and imprints of the state government, describing the gesture as creating an “attractive environment and enticement to boost school enrollment.”
This, the minister said was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s vision of reversing the decline in school enrollments, adding that there was a need for collaboration among the local government, state and the Federal Government to get it right.
