Alhaji Bukar Shettima, The NYIPGG Icon of Societal Transformation and financial expert is set to empower basic school students across the 19 northern states including the Federal Capital Territory with learning materials, this is in tandem with his determination to drastically reduced the alarming number of out of school children.
Recall that last week the Nigeria Minister of State for Education was reported to have said that “the country has the highest number of out school children in Africa”, which is very disturbing and is considered a time bomb which must be addressed by all and sundry, with the philanthropic intervention of this financial expert it is believe to go a long way in alleviating the psychic of children, parents and guardants towards the desire for education.
The proposed distribution of these exercise books is anchored by the leadership of Northern Youth Initiative for Peace and Good Governance, starting with Maiduguri metropolis basic schools as the first beneficiaries of the gesture.
