        And 80% from Northern Nigeria? The effect of polygamy and uncontrolled birth for election purposes and attracting government's revenue.

        To reduce this percentage Nigeria must embrace an 'out-of-school' learning policy through digital learning.

        It's possible to switch this data - from 50% out-of-school children to 100% educated children, if we embrace digital learning policies.
