Quality Education
Nigeria is ranked 43rd out of 52 countries in its attainment of the SDGs and sits at 14th out of 15 nations in West Africa. The SDGs are 17 global goals and 169 targets. They all aim at making the world we live in a better place and were ratified by world leaders in New York in 2015.
According to UNICEF, one-third of Nigerian children are out of school and one in five out-of-school children in the world is Nigerian. UNICEF has described this as a cause for serious concern. These statistics are even more alarming in Northern Nigeria where socio-cultural issues, gender marginalisation, and insecurity are prevalent. Education improves our understanding of the world around us. It provides knowledge and life dexterities and helps to secure our future and build a stable life.
