The summit is a response to the increasing need to create national awareness about the menace of out-of-school children and the potential consequences of continuous relegation of universal education in Nigeria. The event aims to achieve multi-sector awareness, involvement, and investment in addressing the embarrassing statistics of 20.2 million out-of-school children in the country. We want stakeholders to be self-aware of the relevance of contributing to efforts to take children from the street to the classroom.
