37billion renovation budget purchase of cars should be sacrificed for out of school children rep dagogo

I understand your concern and empathy towards the plight of out-of-school children in Nigeria. However, I must clarify that the 37 billion naira renovation budget for cars is not a direct allocation for the purchase of cars, but rather for the renovation of official vehicles for government officials.

That being said, I agree that the welfare and education of out-of-school children should be a priority. It's unfortunate that many children in Nigeria are not in school due to various reasons such as poverty, lack of access to quality education, and other socio-economic factors.

Instead of sacrificing the renovation budget for cars, I would suggest that the government consider allocating a portion of the budget to support initiatives that address the root causes of out-of-school children, such as:

  1. Improving access to quality education: Investing in infrastructure, teacher training, and curriculum development to make education more appealing and accessible to all.
  2. Addressing poverty: Implementing social protection programs, such as cash transfers, scholarships, and food assistance, to support vulnerable families and enable them to keep their children in school.
  3. Providing alternative education options: Supporting alternative education programs, such as vocational training, apprenticeships, and online learning platforms, to cater to the diverse needs of out-of-school children.
  4. Community engagement: Engaging with local communities to raise awareness about the importance of education and encouraging parents to prioritize their children's education.

It's essential to find a balance between allocating resources for official vehicles and addressing the pressing needs of out-of-school children. Perhaps, the government could consider a phased approach, where a portion of the budget is allocated for official vehicles and another portion is dedicated to supporting initiatives that address the root causes of out-of-school children.
