The promise by President Muhammadu Buhari to increase the country’s budgetary allocation to education by 50 per cent in the 2022 and 2023 appropriation bills is cheering news given the level of rot plaguing the sector after years of neglect.
The president’s promise was contained in a document titled ‘Heads of State Call to Action on Education Financing Ahead of the Global Education Summit’, signed as a form of commitment at the just concluded education summit in London.
Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina quoted Buhari as saying: “We commit to progressively increase our annual domestic education expenditure by 50 per cent over the next two years and up to 100 per cent by 2025 beyond the 20 per cent global benchmark.”
