Government to partner Google on ‘out-of-school’ children, says Osinbajo

The Federal Government yesterday said that it was ready to support any partnership with Google global services in the United States (U.S.) to address literacy challenges, including the problem of out-of-school children in Nigeria.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo stated this when he received on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja a delegation from Google led by Mr. Doron Avni.

He said: “It might help if we begin to look at something more in the area of literacy type skills because really, we are looking at how to expand the whole scope of education, especially education for girls.”

Avni, the firm’s Government Affairs and Public Policy Director, described Osinbajo as an excellent partner whose support had enabled the organisation to record remarkable success in Nigeria.
