 In the meantime, the Nigerian Senate has warned of the growing threats posed by the menace of out-of-school children to Nigeria, calling for multi-sector-out interventions to tackle it. The upper chamber said that dangers posed to society by the growing number of out-of-school children were real, citing cases of banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, murder, and other forms of violent crimes as manifestations. Lawmakers expressed their opinions as they debated the motion on the topic, compellingly to tackle the challenge of out-of-school children in Nigeria, sponsored by Senator Adebuleh Idiat Oluranti from Lagos West. Adebuleh in her motion said it has become worrisome going by 2022 report of the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization UNESCO that about 20 million Nigerian children are out of school, which represents 10 percent of estimated Nigerian population of 200 million people, and also represents the highest number of out-of-school children from any country globally. Making a contribution, former governor of a DOE state said to Adams Oshemole, criticized the state governors who claimed they could not afford the 50 percent counterpart fund to access the UBE program. By the social impacts of having about 20 million out-of-school children on the Nigerian state, we include impediments to achieving some of the United Nations sustainable development goals, especially goal four, which is to ensure inclusiveness and equitable quality of education and promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. Convey that when all institutions' concerns are committed to their responsibilities, the minors of out-of-school children will be overcome because the situation is of concern to the federal government of Nigeria. At the same time, I know states that had as much as 50 percent out-of-school population, and my argument then, which is the argument I will make now, it cannot be the truth that every governor can afford to buy the same bulletproof car. We can afford the same state-of-the-art government house, but we cannot afford to pay 50 percent subsidy to ensure that the children of the poor go to school. The bodies of today were the beggars of yesterday, Alibakakabamu, Ayazu, and Ayabasu Bakubamu. The states involved in this gross negligence of the children of the poor to be exposed Other senators contributed to the debate by calling on the government at all levels to urgently arrest the trend. Part of the reasons for Badi-3 will tell you that they are not educated. They don't have anything to do. Once the accounts are taken away, they now engage in Badi-3. We may be talking about 30 million out-of-school, and that is a huge population from amongst the school-going age of our population. This is one issue that the states and the various governments of Nigeria would have to sit and deal with it decisively until we are able to have our youth educated, prepared for tomorrow, both for leadership and productivity. Growth and development may be eluding us, because when we fail to educate our children to become engineers, doctors, nurses, traders, business people, and what have you, what you are prepared to do instead is to become bandits, kidnappers, armed robbers, and name them. Name all the devices you can think of. They will find solace there. Therefore, we need to collectively, at the local level, individual level, the local government, the state government, the federal government, high net worth individuals, corporate bodies, all we need to come collectively together to make sure we find a solution to this problem. So education is the veritable tonic and inertia that any society can use with the beauty, not only lifting people out of poverty, but also a veritable tonic that a society can use with the beauty, not only lifting people out of poverty, but also a veritable tonic that a society can use with the beauty achieving its developmental objectives. Any society that neglects or relegates education to the background, those so are the roots of its own series.
