Photos: Only three out of these children in Kebbi State go to school
Aisha Augie-Kuta, a Nigerian photographer and SSA New
Media to Kebbi State Governor posted the photos, revealing that only
three out of the children pictured here attend school. "The
future! Only 3 of them go to school, we must work together to uplift
the girl child. They create brooms on farms." she wrote.
A
recent report by UNICEF said that about 10 million children are
currently out of school in Northern Nigeria. Most of these out-of-school
children are girls residing in rural areas. Unifef officer in Katsina
State, Shehu Mohammed, identified poverty and socio-cultural and
economic environment as reason for poor enrolment of children in
schools.
