These are challenging times for the Nigerian education sector 11 million children are out of school across the country This was disclosed by Professor Abba Abubakar Haladu The executive director of the National Agency for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education, Professor Abba Abubakar Haladu has revealed that 11 million Nigerian children are out of school across the country.

 Professor Haladu made the disclosure during a visit to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu at the Government House, Umuahia, Abia state. He also decried Nigeria’s dismal mass literacy record, even as he commended Governor Ikpeazu for his efforts towards curbing illiteracy in Abia state. According to The Guardian, he urged the governor to equip the state’s mass literacy agency for optimal performance. Professor Haladu also congratulated the state for topping the table in the West African School Certificate (WASCE) examinations in the last two years. He lauded graduands of the state-owned university in Uturu for also coming tops at the Nigeria Law School examinations. Responding to Professor Haladu, the governor described education as a catalyst for social integration and religious tolerance. He also restated his commitment to reposition the agency for better delivery. Meanwhile, the economic recession in Nigeria have forced many parents and guardians to withdraw their wards from private secondary schools. Hitherto filled classrooms have become considerably sparse, as parents and guardians had decided to move their children to more public schools which are generally affordable.
