In contrast, Anambra state has the lowest percentage of out-of-school children at 2.9%, followed by Imo state and Ekiti state with 5.1% each, as reported by Tribune.

The stark disparity between the northern and southern states underscores the urgent need for intervention to address the educational challenges faced by children in certain regions of the country.

The detrimental impact of countless children being denied access to education extends beyond the current generation, significantly affecting the nation’s future prosperity.

Without concerted efforts and sustainable solutions, Nigeria risks squandering the potential of millions of youth and hindering socio-economic development.

As stakeholders continue to grapple with this pressing issue, it remains crucial to prioritize inclusive and accessible education for all children across Nigeria to ensure a brighter future for the nation as a whole.
