Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has described as criminal, the denial of any child access to education, especially with the current free education policy in the state.
Soludo stated this on Wednesday in Awka during the 2026 Children’s Day celebration themed, “Future Now: Promoting Inclusion for Every Nigerian Child”.
The governor said no child in the state should be out of school for any reason, adding that the state government would fully enforce its zero tolerance policy against out-of-school children.
“We will commence full enforcement. If we grab any child within school hours, we will criminalise it for the parents.
