Adamu, represented by the Minister of State, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba said this in Abuja at the BESDA Technical Meeting between the ministry and the 17 focal states.
He, therefore, suggested the use of National Identity Number NIN for enrolment of new pupils, students on the scheme.
The Minister also queried the projected 13 million figure adopted by the World Bank as a basis for launching the program across the country.
According to the Minister, the projected 13 million Out- of-School figure presented in 2017 was not sufficient enough to determine the actual numbers of enrolment from across the states.
He further said he asked World Bank how many were expected to die and was not told none.
The Minister further enquired on the system’s capacity on verification of claims by states presenting pupils for enrolment asking if there was any National enrolment Identity Number.
