Together, we will make Nigeria great!
It is estimated that 244 million children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18 worldwide were out of school in 2021, of which 118.5 million were girls and 125.5 million were boys
In Nigeria, about 10.5 million children are not in school even though primary education is officially free and compulsory. The education deprivation in northern Nigeria is driven by various factors, including economic barriers and socio-cultural norms and practices that discourage attendance in formal education, especially for girls - UNICEF 2024
We live in an ecosystem where almost everything depends on the other to survive — the plant-animal-human interaction is highly co-dependent. The loss of vegetation and biodiversity due to human activities and climatic variations significantly impacts the planet’s capacity to cater to meet human requirements; including the availability of food and the ability to combat infectious diseases. This alters interactions between infectious agents and their hosts, enabling disease spread. In Nigeria, a glaring example of this is in the current Lassa fever outbreak, with over 6,000 suspected cases and 16 confirmed deaths in 2024.
