Lamido Sanusi, former Governor of the Central Bank, expressed his belief that girl-child education is crucial to the socio-economic development of Nigeria.

Mr Sanusi, who stated this on Wednesday during the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) challenge for local community teachers across the country, explained that the project will provide opportunities for women and girls in crisis, conflict and fragile situations to improve access to quality and gender-responsive education.
He announced that the project is in collaboration with a 1 Million Teachers (1MT) social enterprise based in Canada that will provide equal and high-impact programs that can increase learning opportunities for the less fortunate in society.
“Education holds the key to our development. We must continue to give priority attention to the sector because it is the bedrock of any development.
“We are part of wider society, our happiness, our success, and prosperity will come to nothing if we do not ensure that the vast majority amongst us share in that prosperity and success. I have the strong belief that educating the girl child will improve nutrition, reduce infant mortality, poverty, and provide a better life for the deprived in our society.”
He added that the project which will also be funded through an endowment fund, “aims to inspire and catalyse innovative community development activities that support the achievement of the SDGs, particularly quality education and gender equality.”
Mr Sanusi, the Chancellor of Kaduna State University, said community teachers who have ideas about how to provide education to grassroots communities in a qualitative and equitable manner should apply for the challenge.
He stated that “successful applicants will receive 10 grants of $500 each across Sub-Saharan African countries annually.”
 

Participating teachers will have the learning opportunities in Design thinking, Stakeholder engagement, Project management.
