, has placed it on the front-burner of its 2019 legislative agenda. This became evident when it took the Nigerian education system to the cleaners recently while setting its legislative agenda.
He said funds have to be created, increase the number of classrooms and employ more teachers, noting, “States cannot run away from this, but the Federal Government must provide the leadership. Lawan said the modern economy is not reliant on natural resources, but the intellectual capacity of her human resource to build a stable nation and economy. Lawan’s passion and deep understanding of the importance of education as the driving force behind any technological breakthrough cannot be separated from his background as an academic and his vast experience in legislation that spans over 20 years.
During the protracted debate, lawmakers unanimously lauded the effort of the Ad-hoc Committee for developing the Legislative Agenda, noting that the sectorial interventions highlighted in the agenda would promote effective engagement with the executive, as well as promote transparency and accountability, and serve as an effective legislative guide to the 9th Senate for the next four years.
“I believe that the time has also come to give something substantial to education, especially for the basic education and that captures from kindergarten to junior secondary school education. I have consciously decided to bring to our attention and other major stakeholders what the provisions of the Universal Basic Education Act 2004 provide for the education of our children.”
He pointed out that the major source of insecurity in the country at the moment was probably the neglected section of the society, particularly those that cannot go to school. Lawan also said the Senate would carry out electoral reforms to make for the better electoral experience. He pointed out that the electoral experience in the 2019 election would provide them with enough materials to do so. He stated that a set of indicators would be developed to assess the performance of both the legislators and the various ministries of government in a bid to move the country forward.
I hope they're now woke for real and not another political stunt or rhetoric...
That's why more money is allocated to NASS than the Education sector
