Enrol your children in schools or go to jail – Senate bill

45,996Posted inEducation, News, Nigeria2 minutes

The Senate has passed for first reading a bill that recommends a fine of N50,000 to parents who default in providing their children with primary and secondary school education.

The Red Chamber also recommended free meals for every child in the country.

The bill proposed by Senator Orji Kalu titled, ‘Compulsory free Universal Basic Education Act 2004, Section 2’ states that every government in Nigeria shall provide free, compulsory and universal basic education for every child of primary and junior secondary school age.”

The act further states that “Every parent shall ensure that his child or ward attends and completes his primary school education and junior secondary school education by endeavouring to send the child to primary and junior secondary schools.”

“The Act further states that stakeholders in education in a local government area shall ensure that every parent or person who has the care and custody of a child performs the duty imposed on him under section 2(2) of this Act.”

The act further noted that a parent who contravenes the earlier prescription should be liable, on the first conviction, to be reprimanded.

“On a second conviction, a fine of N2,000 or imprisonment for a term of one month or both; and on subsequent conviction, to a fine of N5,000 or imprisonment for a term of two months or to both.”

The Senate, however, in its amendment, proposed N50,000 fines, instead of the N5,000 previously stated in the Act.

It stated, “A person who receives or obtains any fee contrary to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N10,000 or imprisonment for a term of three months or to both.

“Every parent shall ensure that his child receives full-time education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude by regular attendance at schools.”

However, the Senate proposes, N100,000 in replacement of the N10,000.

The Senate proposed, “Section 3(2) of the Principal Act is amended by deleting N10,000 and inserting N100,000.”

Responding to this development, the Programme Coordinator for Basic Education at Reform Education, Nigeria, Ayodamola Oluwatoyin, in an interview with reporters, noted that while the move by the lawmakers seems commendable, there should be an investigation into the additional charges by the public schools across the country.

    صراحة أنا بقالي شوية أشهر بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وقررت أكتب تجربتي علشان كتير من الشباب بيسألوا عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. أكتر حاجة حبيتها إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، فيه حوالي 3000 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    اللي بيوفروا الألعاب كلها بروڤايدرز كبار زي براجماتيك وبلاي إن جو. أنا بحب Gates of Olympus وSweet Bonanza، ومن وقت للتاني بجرب Book of Dead. اللي مبيحبش السلوتس فيه قسم اللايف من Evolution بموزعين حقيقيين، وشوز زي كريزي تايم بتكسر الملل.

    بالنسبة للبونص مش وحش أبدًا: أول شحن بياخد مية بالمية زيادة مع فري سبينز، وفيه عرض بدون إيداع لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس خليك واخد بالك من متطلبات الرهان اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي مش حاجة تعديها. لو عايز تشوف الأكواد الحالية شوفها عند [url=https://redonda.nativadigital.com.py]تنزيل برنامج 8888[/url] وانت مطمن.

    حاجة عجبتني إن طرق الدفع كتير: Visa وMasterCard، وسكريل ونتلر، وكمان كريبتو وبيتكوين. الـwithdrawal بياخد يوم لتلاتة على المحفظة، مش زي مواقع بتماطل أسبوع. التسجيل نفسه سهل وسريع، والحد الأدنى للإيداع مش مبالغ فيه.

    النقطة الوحيدة اللي زعلتني إن السابورت أحيانًا بيرد ببطء، ومرة قعدت مستني رد. غير كده تحميل التطبيق للأندرويد محتاج تسمح بمصادر خارجية، مش صعبة بس تحتاج انتباه. 888starz apk شغال حلو على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.

    بالنسبة لي كلاعب مصري أنا كمّلت عليه أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق بقى أساسي على موبايلي. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده بيريّح وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو عندك سؤال اسأل.

    Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at buildmomentumonline kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

    A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at stonepetalshop continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

    والله أنا بقالي كام شهر بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وفكرت أقولكم اللي شفته علشان في ناس بتتخبط عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. أول حاجة لفتت نظري إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، بيتكلموا عن تلت آلاف لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    مطوري الألعاب أسماء معروفة زي Pragmatic Play وNetEnt. أنا بلعب كتير على سويت بونانزا وجيتس أوف أوليمبوس، ومن وقت للتاني بجرب Book of Dead. لو مش من هواة السلوتس فيه قسم الكازينو الحي من Evolution بناس بلحمها ودمها، وشوز زي كريزي تايم ممتعة فعلًا.

    بالنسبة للبونص مش وحش أبدًا: أول إيداع بياخد مضاعفة 100% زائد سبينات ببلاش، وفيه no deposit لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس اقرا الشروط كويس من شرط المراهنة اللي حوالي x40 — دي حاجة كتير بينسوها. لو عايز تعرف تفاصيل التنزيل روح لـ [url=https://redonda.nativadigital.com.py]تحميل 888starz للاندرويد[/url] علطول.

    اللي مريّحني إن خيارات السحب والإيداع متنوعة: Visa وMasterCard، ومحافظ زي Skrill وNeteller، وكمان كريبتو وبيتكوين. طلب الفلوس بيجيلي بسرعة معقولة، مقارنة بحاجات تانية سحبت منها. التسجيل نفسه سهل وسريع، والحد الأدنى للإيداع مش مبالغ فيه.

    النقطة الوحيدة اللي زعلتني إن السابورت مش دايمًا سريع الرد، ومرة استنيت شوية على الشات. غير كده تنزيل التطبيق على الأندرويد محتاج تسمح بمصادر خارجية، مش صعبة بس تحتاج انتباه. التطبيق نفسه خفيف على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.

    بعد كل التجربة دي أنا كمّلت عليه أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق بقى أساسي على موبايلي. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده حاجة مهمة وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو عندك سؤال اسأل.

    يعني أنا بقالي حوالي أربع شهور بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وفكرت أقولكم اللي شفته علشان ناس كتير هنا في مصر بتسأل عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. اللي عجبني من البداية إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، فيه حوالي أكتر من 2500 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    شركات الاستوديوهات كلها بروڤايدرز كبار زي Pragmatic Play وNetEnt. أنا مدمن سويت بونانزا وجيتس أوف أوليمبوس، وأحيانًا بلف على Book of Dead. لو بتفضل اللعب الحقيقي فيه قسم الديلر المباشر من Evolution بكروبيهات حقيقيين، وألعاب زي Crazy Time ممتعة فعلًا.

    العروض للاعبين الجداد مش وحش أبدًا: الديبوزيت الأول بياخد مضاعفة 100% زائد سبينات ببلاش، وفيه عرض بدون إيداع لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس اقرا الشروط كويس من شرط المراهنة اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي حاجة كتير بينسوها. لو عايز تعرف تفاصيل التنزيل روح لـ [url=https://readtheedit.com]ستار 888[/url] قبل ما تسجّل.

    حاجة عجبتني إن فيه أكتر من وسيلة: فيزا وماستركارد، وسكريل ونتلر، وكمان عملات رقمية زي البيتكوين. طلب الفلوس أسرع مع الكريبتو صراحة، مقارنة بحاجات تانية سحبت منها. التسجيل نفسه مش معقد، والحد الأدنى للإيداع بسيط.

    عيب لازم أقوله إن خدمة العملاء أحيانًا بيرد ببطء، ومرة قعدت مستني رد. غير كده تحميل التطبيق للأندرويد بيطلب إعدادات يدوية شوية، حاجة عادية بس مبتدئ ممكن يلخبط. 888starz apk شغال حلو على الموبايل والتحديث بيظبط المشاكل أول بأول.

    بعد كل التجربة دي أنا مرتاح أكتر مما توقعت، و888starz apk بقى أساسي على موبايلي. الترخيص موجود ومعلن، وده بيريّح وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو حد جرّبه يشاركنا.

    Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to brightridgeoutlet I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

    Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at findsmarteroptions added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

    Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at moonveilgoods confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

    Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at createforwardprogress continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

    Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at timberechoemporium kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

    If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at cinderlaneemporium extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

    Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at buyinghubonline reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

    A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at bondkeystone suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

    Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at reliableonlinebuys only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

    Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at clicktofindsolutions reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

    The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at ashenfernshop added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

    Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after driftstonecollective I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

    Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at wildhollowgoods continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

    Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at fastbuyingoutlet added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

    Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at flexibleshoppingmart reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

    Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at discoverbetterpaths produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

    Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at simplebuyingworld reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

    Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at dailyshoppingpoint extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.

    Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at bondvalue extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

    Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at motionwithpurpose continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.
