The Sokoto state government is set to convey a stakeholder’s conference to improve girl child education in the state.
The Governor, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, disclosed this to journalists in Ilorin shortly after his private visit to the Kwara state Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Tambuwal said the government was collaborating with the UNICEF and the Sultan foundation in Sokoto, to organise the conference, that would address challenges confronting the state education sector, particularly for the girl child.
According to him, a bill had been forwarded to the state House Of Assembly to establish an education agency with a view to improving school enrollment and strengthen the state’s policy on education.
