MY PLEDGE, OUR PLEDGE


 Today, I stand with the global community through NIGERIA EDUCATION FIRST INITIATIVE (NEFI) and GIRLS NEXT GENERATION (GNG) to pledge my total support for the full implementation of Universal Basic Education Programme in Nigeria in line UBE Act 2004. After series of violent attack by terrorist group to frustrate early child education in Nigeria, I strongly support the national advocacy campaign to enroll 10.5 million Nigerian children from the street to the classroom.


I join other well-meaning citizens and the global community that Child Rights Law should be domesticated and Free Education Policy from primary to secondary level be implemented in all states of the federation.

I pledge my total support to this campaign to ensure that by 2020, all Nigerian children are enroll into the classroom.

So help me God
