Published 14 May 2021
The Executive Director of the Human Development Initiative, Mrs Olufunso Owasanoye, has said it is everyone’s duty to ensure that out-of-school children are given proper education.
She stated this at a two-day training workshop on monitoring basic education projects, themed, ‘One-Day Tracking Campaign’.
The event, organised for community members across Lagos State, was also attended by artisans and traders.
According to Owasanoye, the training is to sensitise residents and ensure that all children are educated.
“And to support this initiative, we decided to add artisans because they also live in the communities so that we can sensitise them to support in bringing these children to school. If you are a widow or less privileged in any way, we will give you scholarships on everything; yours is just to bring the child to class.
