Adamu Adamu, minister of education, says the federal government wills soon a effect policy to prosecute parents who refused to enroll children of school age in schools across the country.

Adamu made this known in Abuja while addressing reporters during the 9th edition of the weekend ministerial briefing.

He said parents who sabotage the efforts of the government to reduce the number of out of school children would soon be criminalised and would be made to face the wrath of the law.

“Unless the issue of parents who refused their children going to school is made a crime, and we start jailing parents, the menace of out of school children will not be resolved,” he said.

“There are many who are still working behind culture, religion. So the ministry is to effect this policy so that any parent whose child of school age refuses to take them to school will be jailed.”

Speaking on matching grant and other intervention funds for basic education in Nigeria, the minister said a total of N350 billion had been expended on the sub-sector as against N360 billion spent by the previous administration.

“In the six years preceding the Buhari Administration, between 2009 and 2014, the federal government spent about N360 billion worth of intervention on Basic Education covering textbooks, teacher professional development, construction of classrooms and library resources among others,’’ the minister said.

Adamu added that in 2015, matching and non-conditional grants disbursements to 15 states of the federation and the federal capital territory (FCT) amounted to N68.4 billion.

He also said in 2016, grants disbursements to 29 states and the FCT amounted to N77 billion. Adamu added that stakeholders were awaiting the decision of the federal executive council (FEC) on reduction of matching grants for state governments.

“We have already submitted proposal on the reduction of matching grants and we believe between 10 per cent and 20 per cent of the matching grant will be reduced as against the 50 per cent that states have been claiming is difficult to provide,’’ he said.

  1. Bob Dog is on a mission to become a top fetcher with his coach, Penguin Referee! Go Fetch! With Bob Dog is a fun, claw machine-style game from Donkey Hodie where players use classification, flexible thinking, and visual discrimination to help Bob Dog sort the toys he wants and toss the ones he doesn’t as fast as they can. Everyone will dig it! Norco is a game with a unique sensibility: equal parts southern gothic and sci-fi, with a good dose of the humorously surreal–as evidenced by the Crouton minigames. In Norco, players can find an orange cat named Crouton in the local bookstore. Though he’s moody, as the bookstore owner warns, players can still choose to try to give him a pat. The first few times the player does so, a minigame is triggered. But after enough scritches, Crouton bursts through the roof and just… leaves. Good for Crouton!
