Former military head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has called for increased investment in nomadic education in order to ensure equal educational opportunities for all social groups.
He gave this charge at the commissioning of a UBEC second chance project by Niger State Deputy Governor, Yakubu Garba.
Nomadic education is a sub-system within the formal educational system of numerous African countries, tailored to bridge the educational gap among different social groups.
Recognizing the importance of this endeavor, General Abdulsalami Abubakar set up a Nomadic School for Children of Nomads who may not have the opportunity to attend a regular school.
