The Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly Abubakar Y Suleiman has requested the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to consider inclusion of his local government area, Ningi in its ongoing School Meet the Learner Approach Programme in the state.
The Speaker made the request while making his contribution at the official launching of the programme at the Banquet Hall, Government House Bauchi.
In addition, Speaker Abubakar Suleiman appealed for the expanding of the programme to all the 20 local government areas of the state as against the six local governments.
The Speaker described the initiative as a welcome development, saying it will minimize the number of out of school children and boast the educational capability of the beneficiaries.
The UNESCO’s School Meet the Learner Approach Program was officially launched by the Executive Governor of Bauchi state, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Kauran Bauchi.
