The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, stated this in Abuja on Monday during a press conference on the Federal Government’s intervention in the basic education sub-sector.Adamu said the ministry had demanded the criminalisation of the act of not sending children to school as well as the possible prosecution of such parents.
Adamu said, “The ministry is calling not just for the criminalisation of this act, because something is already being done on that, but for putting the law into effect. The Sokoto State Governor, once did something like this. Unless not sending children to school is made a crime, and parents who refuse to send their children to school are prosecuted, we may not see the desired changes.
“In 2016, grants disbursements to 29 states and the Federal Capital Territory was about N77bn and in 2017, it was N95bn to 24 states. Hence, the disbursements over the four-year period totalled N350bn.”
That's gud anybody who's refused to send his child into school go to trail
Na Who be this? How many schools have you built since you have got into the office. I am sorry but you no get mouth. Every minister in this govt are trading us for salary. NO ACTION
I think this people are smoking something very different.. Allah!
How many prisons have you built for this purpose because you have many people to jail.
my concern is monitoring and evaluation. nevertheless this is a step up
What provision have you and your office made to improve and run free education? You all approves private institutions with better standards all around which an average Nigerian parents can't afford while the government school that produce most of you is languishing.
Gibberish! When your own children are in The Ivy League, free of charge, after plundering the economy. CORRUPTION!!!!
Yes
ProfOsinbajo MBuhari atiku PeterObi Being the country with the highest number of out of school children is the reason poverty& crisis thrives. The children, most affected by this are: The Almajiri, nomad, Socially deprived girl child & children of rural peasant farmers.
They just wake up in the morning and open dirty evil mouth and say shit, why don't you implement policy that will jail all Minister that fail in their duties? governors that failed to rebuildschools or fail to pay teacher's arrears. MBuhari NGRPresident
MBuhari ProfOsinbajo NGRPresident did you create enabling environment for public schools? First of all is there free education from primary to secondary schls? Parents that are so poor that they can't even feed the kids, how are de gonna send kids to scl?
Buhari has finished this country with his mediocre appointments. Just Negodu this one!
Parents who have children in school should also sue the government over strikes.
Next joke please
Which parents,the one properly paid by government or the one government under paid by paying themselves millions of naira as allowances.
Said by aboki minister
This country na scam
When GEJonathan building 150 schools in the you voted APCNigeria now the MBuhari Led administration have highest drop out of school and unemployment. Let shout Sai baba
Conventional school I guess
Rubbish Talk
Start from the north with almajiri
Idiot man
Start from the North and stop ranting. Take those almajiri kids to real schools not where they are only fed some unprofitable junks.
😄😄. Let's see how that goes.
Have the FG created an enabling environment and economy that would enrich and enable the poor and average parents to thrive?
Are schools mandatorily free of tuition up to secondary school level first?
Some persons will just wake up in the morning and start saying nonsense..
This is what happens when a novice is the Minister of Education...
Because you provide job 4d parents abi... Useless government
MBuhari led federal government remains the worst. No reforms on education since 4 years till date, poverty is thriving n yet this minister has the audacity to make such comments. Which parent in their right sense will not want the best for their kids?
There are millions of out of school underage voters almajiris. What do you do to those who are exploiting them and using them for election malpractices and vote rigging? Why not start arresting the APC leaders in Kano, Katsina, Kaduna?
This one na animal talk. As if there is enabling eviroment of learning both primary and tertiary education. Jokers
That means the whole of Northern States in Nigeria will be prosecuted, because majority are alamajiri.. hypocrites
Better state from d northern part of d country...
Total rubbish
I guess the whole northern states are will be on trial. First the FG have to go on trial for their ignorance. When you choose to promote cattle grazing over child education. What do you expect. Garbage in Garbage out.
FG should also be put on trial for not building SCHOOLS. The government has failed in their responsibility to provide schoolable schools.
This country is actually finished
Hypocrisy is when you have almajaris in your home and area but you are punishing parents for not sending their children to schools
Someone just played penalty to throwing. 😂😂😂. I can't laugh pls.
The fault is from the government from day one.There is no parent that want his child tobe illiterate
Inform Mr. Adamu Adamu to address the root cause of having out-of-school children before taking the erring parents to court.
