Gbeneol announced this in Abuja at the launching of three million free exercise books, distributed to pupils across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.

“The MDG has initiated programmes to help Nigeria achieve Universal Basic Education with focus on the issues of quality, capacity, access and relevance.

“The MDGs made available over N113.75bn of debt relief to the Federal Ministry of Education from 2006 to date, to implement various programmes.

“The programmes include the girl child education, National Programme on Almajiri, support to the National Teachers Institute and support to UBEC for the Federal Teachers Scheme.’’

She noted that N26.1bn was invested in 261 local government areas, with the execution of more than 15,000 high impact projects.
