President Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday, in Abuja urged State Governors to “enforce very vigorously” free and compulsory basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary school age.

This was contained in a statement to Us on Thursday by Femi Adesina, the President’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.

The President also urged the Governors to pay special attention to security, health and agriculture in the next four years of this administration.

Inaugurating the National Economic Council (NEC) at the Presidential Villa, President Buhari reminded the Governors that providing free and compulsory education is a constitutional provision.

The statement added, ‘‘Section 18(3) of the 1999 Constitution as amended places on all of us here an obligation to eradicate illiteracy and provide free and compulsory education.

‘‘Section 2 of the Compulsory, Free Universal Basic Education Act provides that every Government in Nigeria shall provide free, compulsory and universal basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary school age.

“It is indeed a crime for any parent to keep his child out of school for this period. In my view, when a government fails to provide the schools, teachers and teaching materials necessary for basic education, it is actually aiding and abetting that crime.

‘‘This is, therefore, a call to action. I would like to see every Governor rise from this meeting and rally his local Government Chairmen towards ensuring that our schools offer the right opportunities and provide the needed materials and teachers for basic education, at the minimum.

‘‘If we are able to do this, the benefits will surely manifest themselves,’’ the President said in his 24-paragraph speech at the inaugural session of NEC.

The President told the Governors that successes in the four key areas of education, security, health and agriculture would go a long in lifting Nigerians out poverty, and securing the future for sustainable growth and development.

Suprise to hear this from Buhari, atleast his Reasoning Quotient(if there's any English like that] is improving..........

As it stand now in Naija, the only thing that is important to talk about is how to stop the increasing killings and banditry in our country.

He shud make security his one point agenda for the next level.

Ok

Which mumu order?? Order wey be say as him dey issue am,, na laugh dem go dey laugh am..
What happened the last time he gave fmr IG idris order?? He flouted it and nothing happened.. What happened to d order he gave COAS to relocate to maiduguri,, buratai dey Abuja till date enjoying himself.. Abeg leave matter for Mathias..

The number of killings under this devil incarnate just increased with the Jalingo killings
Yet, if killings happen in another country, this fvcking bozo will be the first to condemn it.

OK

uv said it all bro....this ought to be the very first priority...!!

Now I see why my brothers from the yeast hate this pumpkin with a passion. This guy refuse to say anything but remain dumb whenever he rolls out bail out money for Governors to pay salaries and they refuse to do so. He remain dumb whenever people are being killed en-mass by Fulani herdsmen and miyetti Allah. He is dumb throughout the period he appoints ministers during his first tenure. We only hear of Ministerial of information and Fashola working throughout.

This man will give executive orders and his subjects will refuse to obey them. Even the o called corruption he is fighting is fraudulent as nobody among the top pokiticians is being jailed. Those who are supposed to be in prison are still walking free on the street. His corruption can only jail Naira Malley and yahoo boys.

And they say this Imp is a military officer? Even if I a civilian handle a country, I can't be this incompetent. He is so incompetent his wife keeps attacking and making statements against his administration. This guy should please leave and give room for a president like Trump Jare. But in this country where even the citizen are thieves, kidnappers, fraudulent, how can we find someone with determination to succeed, passion, purpose, smartness and incorruptible.

Security problem this man can't even reduce it. I can't remember him condemning Boko Haram attacks, is it that he's happy or innocent people's lives doesn't matter to him as long as him and his family are safe?

Alrrt

He should stop the killing in the North a d other part of the nation.

PMB, please stop all these shenanigans and act like the C in C you promised to be.
Governing this country and dealing with the acts of violence happening nation wide is not rocket science. Public prayers were canceled even in your own State of Katsina because of bandits.
What is going on? Is there a plan to wipe out ALL Nigerians, Muslim and Christians, North and South? Male and Female?
What is the NIA with all the billions they collect to gather intelligence? What about the SSS?
Oga, act decisively now.

That security for now is the most important, because it's too pathetic to be seeing killings headlines everyday.

But, it's also good for education is the key substainable society.

Yes, you are right. But, illiteracy is one of the opportunities harvested by the Boko Haram leaders to recruit young men into their fold.

That is the short term goal which is important. The long term goal is the get all children educated which has to start now to avoid recycling of Security threats like Banditry and kidnapping.

You mean Buhari said all these sensible words

Just wondering....................

What about payment of arears some of those governors owned teachers? Welfare of the students without welfare of the teachers is a fail educational programmes.

Nonsense ...


How can my full family hate our president like this very unfit

Na now u know say education important?

When is he going to islamize Nigeria?
I think wailers should have answer to that.,

Hoping they will listen..

You will agree with me that this man has taken the award of most clueless and confused President in history!


Despite the billion dollars, still no improvement in security.

Mtchewww

You know nothing Robbstark. Jk

On a lighter note, funding for basic education is grossly inadequate, so the federal government also has a role to play. Improved Education will also improve our security situation.

In other news Nigeria had qualified.kudos to super falcons
