Nigeria will benefit from a pool of $500 million fund to boost educational development and serve as additional resources to support the development of universal basic education in Nigeria.
Former Prime Minister of Britain, Mr Gordon Brown disclosed this Tuesday at the meeting of Coalition Interventions to Support Access and Quality of Education in Nigeria hosted by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.
This is as President Jonathan Monday in Abuja reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the effective implementation of policies and measures that will ensure that Nigerian youths receive qualitative education that will equip them with essential skills and competencies required by employers.
“The federal government of Nigeria has made available $250million for investment in education by the states. What we have managed to do by talking to the individual agencies over the last few days is to match that $250million by the additional $250million making possible new investment of $500million in education in Nigeria,” Brown explained.
