16 Million Children Are Out Of School – Adamu Adamu

a former Minister of Education, ADAMU ADAMU, has said that the number of out-of-school children in the country now stands at over 16 million.

ADAMU, who is also one of the 43 ministerial nominees submitted to the senate for screening and confirmation stated this while fielding questions from senators yesterday.

The new figure of 16 million, however, contradicts the 13 million out-of-school children being bandied around. However, the ministerial nominee told the senate that the 16 million figure was based on a February 2019 census.

ADAMU noted that out-of-primary-school children stood at 10 million, while children out-of-secondary-school are six million.

He blamed the high number on poor funding of education in the country by states and the federal government.

Senate President, AHMAD LAWAN, said the legislature and the executive arm of government should work together to get the children back to the classrooms.

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice ADAMU ABDU KAFARATI, will today retire from the court after clocking the statutory age of 65 years.

The CJ’s personal effects have in the last few days been moved from the office where he held sway since September 16, 2017.

Justice TSOHO, born June 24, 1959 is followed by Justice CECILIA OLATEROGUN, who is also due to retire on November 9, 2019 after clocking 65.

Reps Order IGP To Shut Down Edo Assembly

The House of Representatives has asked the Inspector General of Police, MOHAMMED ADAMU, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), YUSUF BICHI, to shut down the Edo State House of Assembly immediately.

The lawmakers also ordered the Governor, Godwin OBASEKI to within one week, issue a fresh proclamation for the purpose of inaugurating the state house of assembly and publish same in a national newspaper.

This followed the adoption of a report of the House ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the crisis rocking the Edo state Assembly.

However, the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, FRANK OKIYE, has rejected the move by the House of Representatives to shut down the assembly.

OKIYE, who stated this in a statement, shortly after the House of Representatives took the decision in Abuja, noted that a competent court had already retained the security agencies from taking such an action.

He insisted that the rule of law was prevailing in the State Assembly.
