66% of Nigerian rural children can’t read, write -FG

The Federal Government on Thursday gave a damning revelation that 66 per cent of Nigerian children in rural areas can neither read nor write.

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, represented by the Director and Head in the Federal Ministry of Health, Dr. Salma Ibrahim Anas-Kolo, stated these during the closing ceremony of a two-day stakeholders’ consultation towards ministerial commitment for educated, healthy and thriving adolescents and young people in West and Central Africa.

The organisers said the consultation would lead up to a regional high-level commitment by Ministers of Education and Health of the 25 West and Central African countries and would be instrumental to changing the narratives for adolescents and young people in the region to educated, healthy and thriving sub-group.

“According to NDHS, Nigeria has a higher burden of adolescent pregnancy and child bearing. 19 per cent of teenagers are already mothers or pregnant with their first child. The figure is higher in the Northern part than in the South.

That is too bad for us

Go to the southern part of the country and be surprised

How can they read and write, when you have kept them at home. Imposed people that don't know anything about education in power.
