Nigeria's Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has said the Federal Government returned more than one million out-of-school children to the classroom over the past 20 months, according to Tribune Online. The minister presented the figure as evidence of progress in the government's efforts to tackle the country's out-of-school children crisis, which has long been one of the largest globally, with millions of Nigerian children previously lacking access to basic education.

In contrast, senior secondary education lacks a comparable dedicated funding structure, raising the question of who will finance this segment of the education system.

Nigeria's Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa, has urged Vice-Chancellors of the country's public universities to urgently diversify their sources of funding, according to Tribune Online.

The charge was directed at the leadership of public universities across Nigeria, though specific details of the proposed funding models were not disclosed in the report.
