The Presidency has restated its commitment to proffering lasting solutions to the challenges posed by the rising number of out-of-school children across Nigeria.
Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, Mrs Maryam Uwais, said this in Maiduguri during the closing ceremony of a three-week capacity-building programme for Youth facilitators under the Federal Government’s At-Risk-Children Programme (ARC-P) in Borno State.
Mrs Uwais, said the objectives of ARC-P include restoring a life of hope and dignity to millions of street children and vulnerable young people in the country.
The Presidential aide disclosed that the eight hundred and thirty youth facilitators trained in Borno would be assigned a minimum of fifty children across the eighteen Local Government Areas of the State.
Mrs Uwais revealed that more than forty-one thousand street children and vulnerable young people are expected to benefit in the first phase of the Programme in Borno State.
