THE Niger State Government on Wednesday said it had started sponsoring 175 out-of-school children in various public primary and secondary schools in Minna. Kolo said that the agency was collaborating with the state Ministry of Education to give free education and free uniforms to the children. “We send them to government schools for the public to know that public schools can produce great people. “This free medical care is ongoing across the 25 local government areas of the state,’’ she said. Kolo advised pregnant women and parents to visit Primary Health Care Centres nearest to them to access free medical services.
