Speaking at the opening of the debate, the speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, described the system as failures of policy development and implementation. “We are here to consider the failures of policy development and implementation, the vagaries of culture and religion that have contributed to the plight of these young people.Mr Gbajabiamila said the house will act in the best interests of Nigerians by ensuring that the solutions presented at the debate are formulated into actionable policy plans to be implemented diligently, with haste, stating that this is a commitment the house made in its Legislative Agenda.

Obinna Chidoka said girls should be properly provided for. ‘Adequate sanitary provision should be made for schools. Our educational curriculum should take into cognizance our cultural practices.’PREMIUM TIMES reported how about eight million of Nigeria’s out-of-school children are in 10 Northern states and Abuja.
