The United Nations Children’s Education Fund, UNICEF in collaboration with the Nasarawa State Government has successfully returned 10, 353 out-of-school pupils to school in two local government areas of the state.
The Desk Officer of UNICEF at the Nasarawa State Ministry of Education, Ali Musa said this while responding to questions from the media today in Lafia during a media parley.
Ali Musa said the coronavirus pandemic had ravaged and is still ravaging the economy of several nations thereby leading to loss of jobs by parents and causing many children to drop from school.
He explained that UNICEF came up with the back-to-school initiative to help return those who dropped out because of the effect of COVID-19 pandemic and other reasons.
Musa added that the project was currently being implemented in 370 primary schools in Lafia and Nasarawa LGAs.
Ail Musa appealed to the media to continue to support them to achieve the objectives of the project.
