The Director, Press, of the Federal Ministry of Education, Ben Goong, who disclosed this in a statement, noted that the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Hammed Boboyi, gave the statistics while briefing the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, on his agency’s activities.JAMB Portal

Recall that a 2022 report by UNESCO estimated that Nigeria currently had approximately 20 million out-of-school children but the federal government under the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, contended that the country only accounted for 12.4% of the total number of out-of-school children in sub-Saharan Africa.
