Earlier this year, a report was released by UNESCO that Nigeria, which is Africa’s biggest economy now has over 20 million out-of-school children.

These are children that should be enjoying the universal basic education rights. Lagos particularly has more than 2 million children out of school, which is two hundred thousand more than the entire number of out-of-school children in Kenya.

These statistics continue to grow yearly despite the claim to curb it, which the past and current governments have made.

The Lagos state government has to do more than just the usual media-advertising and channel real effort to strengthen the education system and bring back children to the classroom.

It is of great importance to note that the efforts to strengthen the educational system and to bring out-of-school children back to classrooms are neither synonymous or even the same. This is what our government will do differently. We will create systems to put children in school without putting the burden on their parents. Basic education is the fundamental right of every child, therefore, we will focus on capacity building in schools and the educational system at large. We will ensure that basic education is compulsory and free.

We solicit for the support of the good people of Lagos to join us as we make this historic change. This change begins with you. It is vested in the power of one vote.

Children that our looters has long forgotten

They are no longer hearing

Okay
