Obasanjo laments increased out-of-school children
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has lamented the increase in the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
Obasanjo said lack of formal education and stagnated development were parts of the biggest problems confronting the country.
The former President stated this while speaking as the Chairman of the second convocation ceremony of Chrisland University, Abeokuta.
Obasanjo noted that about 14 million children who ought to be in school were out on the streets, saying this should worry everyone who wanted the best for Africa.
“We have 14 million children that should be in schools and are not in schools, that’s more than the population of many African countries”, Obasanjo said.
