President Bola Tinubu has expressed concern over the high number of out-of-school children in Nigeria. He emphasized the need to address this issue by establishing more schools, hiring teachers, and providing at least one meal a day for school children. Nigeria has an estimated 20 million out-of-school children, with insecurity exacerbating the situation, particularly in northern regions where conflicts have led to school closures and displacement of thousands.
