The All Progressives Congress (APC) Media Group has called on federal and state governments to increase budgetary allocation to Universal Basic Education (UBE) to tackle the high rate of out-of-school children in the country.

Leader of the group, Dr. Tom Ohikere, made the call during the state’s Special Schools Inspection to Jigawa State for on-the-sport assessment of the developments recorded in the basic education sector in Jigawa.

“The devastating situation calls for collective sacrifice, as all hands must be on deck to reduce this number to the barest minimum,” he added.Basic education, he noted, is the foundation for higher education and establishment of driving forces for social and economic development in any society; hence it deserves special attention for growth.

During a courtesy visit to the Jigawa deputy governor, Ohikere commended the state’s commitment to UBE. He described the progress recorded in Jigawa as a clear manifestation of judicious use of federal and state governments’ intervention funds in the sector.
