President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to increase the yearly allocation to education sector as the current five per cent to the sector was inadequate.

He said the current allocation to the sector was too small to propel the desired growth of the economy and pointed out that the United Nations target of 26 per cent was ideal. He assured Nigerians that allocations to the sector would be improved as revenue increases and described education as a major engine for the development of any country.
