Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has commended the British charity, IA-Foundation, for the commitment shown by the charity in tackling the out-of-school crisis in Nigeria.
Osinbajo gave the commendation in a message to IA-Foundation to commemorate the fourth annual Black Tie and Charity Ball of the organisation.
The message was e-mailed to the News Agency of Nigeria by the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of IA-Foundation, Mrs Ibironke Adeagbo, in Abuja on Tuesday.
Black Tie and Charity Ball with the theme, “Securing the Future”, is scheduled to hold on March 8 at Bishop Justus CE School in Bromley, Kent, England.
Osinbajo hailed IA-Foundation for offering strategic support to Nigeria’s education sector, saying that the charity had contributed immensely to Nigeria’s growth.
According to the Vice-President, IA-Foundation has made a remarkable impact in reducing the number of girls who are unable to access education, due to poverty, insecurity or poor orientation about the importance of acquiring education.
He said, “Given the number of girls who remain out of school in our country and may never have the opportunity of formal education, girl-child education is an all-important assignment.
“I whole-heartedly commend the commitment and dedication that IA-Foundation has deployed so far in getting our girls educated’’.
