“We have a unique opportunity to equip a new generation with the tools to shape an Africa that leads in the 21st century.
“This demands vision, determination and investment. By funding the Global Partnership for Education, we empower countries that are blessed with a dynamic and youthful population, like Nigeria, to break down the barriers that keep children, especially girls, from acquiring the skills they need to thrive in the modern world.
“GPE’s mission aligns with ours: to ensure education serves as a direct and reliable pathway to national development and economic prosperity.”

“Fostering the human capital of the youngest lays the foundations of strong communities and the institutions of tomorrow.
“Italy is very pleased to partner with Nigeria in making sure that education represents a powerful driver of socio-economic and human development of Nations.”
