The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has apologised to Nigerians over his inability to fulfill his promise to reduce the number of out-of-school children by half before the end of his tenure.
Adamu, who spoke on Tuesday during his valedictory session at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja, said the menace has been so embarrassing especially when he attends foreign conferences, moreso as Nigeria is endowed with enormous resources. Commending the Academic Staff Union of Universities and the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics , as well as other unions on campuses, the minister pleaded that strikes should be a thing of the past, while noting that the sum of N20 billion had been released directly to universities, emphasising that all universities had got their share of the money.
Apology not accepted sir! You are being hugely paid for a failed assignment. Simply use your earnings to help with the little that you can to show genuine apology.
Apologies not accepted
