The Chairman, Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has said that the Senate was committed to improve funding to the education sector in Nigeria.
Senator Wamakko noted that there was need to make education, at levels, functional in the country.
A statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bashir Rabe Mani, made available to newsmen in Sokoto, said that the former Sokoto State governor was making a contribution at the Senate Public Hearing on the poor condition of Queens College, Lagos, students with disabilities in the College, as well as the death of three of its students.
He said that, the Committee would make concerted efforts to salvage education in the nation through the provision of more quality teachers and facilities, to ensure effective teaching and learning.
He lamented,” because of the poor quality teachers, parents across the country strive to send their daughters to other schools other than Queens College.
”Making Secondary education functional is a major concern to the eighth Senate”, he added.
