Court Orders FG, States to Provide Free Basic Education for All Children

A federal court has mandated that the Federal Government and all state governments must provide free basic education to every child in Nigeria. The ruling emphasized that access to primary and junior secondary education is a fundamental right under the Nigerian Constitution. The court also directed governments to ensure schools are adequately funded and equipped, stressing that failure to comply would attract legal consequences. Education advocates welcomed the ruling, noting it could significantly reduce out-of-school children and promote literacy nationwide.
