Today's investment determines tomorrow's reward.

Increase education financing, reduce out-of-school children.

Two Truths and a Lie about #Nigeria’s financing of #education.

(A) Current allocation is 8.2% of its national budget
(B) Spends less on education than 9 of the poorest countries in Africa
(C) Budget that is available is often fully utilised

What's the lie?

There are still more than 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria; over 60% of them are girls.

We call on the incoming administration to:

1. Make senior secondary education free
2. Fund more. Fund better
3. Make schools safe
