Two UK-based Non-Governmental Organizations, IA-Foundation and PSJUK, are preparing to launch a groundbreaking report titled “Illiteracy and Insecurity: An Unholy Marriage” at the United Kingdom House of Parliament.
The report aims to analyze the complex relationship between education and insecurity across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Mrs. Ibironke Adeagbo, Founder/CEO of IA-Foundation, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming launch.
She highlighted the report’s focus on examining the correlation between education and insecurity in Nigeria and emphasized the need for a comprehensive analysis of the challenges facing the education sector, particularly in regions affected by insecurity.
Mr. Ayo Adedoyin, CEO of PSJUK, emphasized the importance of addressing the causes, trends, and implications of high insecurity rates on education development in Nigeria.
He underscored the significance of understanding the impact of insecurity on various levels of education nationwide.
Adeagbo further elaborated on the detrimental effects of insecurity on the education sector, citing direct attacks on learning institutions, students, and infrastructure.
She emphasized the urgency of addressing these challenges through evidence-based solutions.
Her words: ”The report will delve into the causes and implications of insecurity in education, aiming to provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
”It will also offer evidence-based recommendations to address the root causes of insecurity and promote educational development in Nigeria.
”In light of the persistent challenges faced by the education sector, particularly in regions prone to insecurity, the launch of the Westminster Report signifies a critical step towards understanding and addressing these complex issues.
”Through collaborative efforts between IA-Foundation, PSJUK, and other stakeholders, the report aims to contribute to the formulation of effective strategies to improve education and security across Nigeria.”
