“In line with the Abia Child’s Rights Law 2006, it’s now an offence for parents not to send their children or wards to school because Government has made education free and compulsory,” Kanu warned.
According to him, the policy is in fulfilment of Governor Otti’s promise to deliver quality and affordable education to the people.
