The World Bank has approved a USD 700 mln loan to boost education for young girls in Nigeria, addressing the 12-15 million out-of-school children, especially in Northern Nigeria. That follows the bank’s prior loans under Bola Tinubu’s term: USD 750 mln for power (June 9, 2023) and USD 500 mln for women’s empowerment (June 22, 2023).
