Nigeria cannot hope to secure a peaceful and prosperous future without investing in the millions of children, particularly girls, currently denied an education. It is estimated today that about 16 million children are out of school in Nigeria, and most of these are girls. While the number of out-of-primary-school children stands at about 10 million, the number of children out-of-secondary-school is 6 million – the highest number of any country in the world.
These challenges continue to thrive on the lack of interest or lack of information by the citizens who are supposed to hold the duty bearers accountable, and where the information and interest exist, there seems to be a lack of capacity to thoroughly engage the duty bearers to ensure transparency and accountability in basic education financing in the states hence, providing the opportunity to mobilize and support the citizens to be able to engage with the duty bearers, demand accountability, and be involved in the process of ensuring free, safe, compulsory and quality basic education in Nigeria.
