What happened
Oluremi Tinubu announced a N2bn Learners Retention Support Programme in Nigeria, which aims to support 100,000 learners in its initial phase. The program provides N20,000 to each beneficiary to help overcome financial barriers to school attendance and retention. The announcement was made during the flagging off of the distribution of two million packs of sanitary towels and back-to-school learning materials to girls in public basic education schools across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
