A Demographic Health Survey(DHS) conducted by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and the Nigerian government shows that the population of out of school children in Nigeria has risen from 10.5 million to 13.2 million. ImageImageImageImage

When we went to discuss the memorandum with Chief Awolowo, his understanding of the strategy led him to suggest that our strategy of organizing villages into viable communities is to create what he termed an ‘optimum community’. It was, in fact, Chief Awolowo who christened this
approach to rural development in the country the ‘Opticom Strategy’.

DONT MISS HER STORY ON TWINKLE
@twinklefiles

When she came through the door,her eyes told us the number of times she has travelled in search of the beautiful things of life. As she sat at the head of the table,she remained strong despite the troubles on the bumpy road of time. ImageImageImage
When her voice came, it echoed resoundingly as if her late husband was nudging her to tell it all in honour of the future.
Now that she has explained some of the adventures of Lamidi, we cannot stop her from shedding tears of pain and joy.
She paused, her eyes welled with tears, then she looked at the interviewer, looked at the camera and muttered “I miss my husband”.
She is Adeola Sarat Adesina. Her husband, Lam Adesina was a teacher. He became the governor of Oyo State in 1999.
