Nigeria Relaunches Second-Chance Schools for Dropout Girls as Part of Federal Education Push

President Bola Tinubu has reintroduced the Alternative High School for Girls initiative, championed by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, offering education pathways for girls who have left school. The program joins parallel federal efforts targeting Nigeria's 10.5 million out-of-school children, including UBEC vocational centers and the World Bank's AGILE secondary education project across 18 states. Multiple agencies coordinate these interventions, though implementation challenges persist across Nigeria's federal structure.
