He said the board will no longer tolerate parents who refuse to send their children to school, and legal actions may follow where necessary.

He expressed concern over the shortage of trained teachers and the issue of illegal promotions within the system, calling for fresh reforms to improve learning quality.

Declaring the summit open, Governor Abdullahi Sule announced that the state is set to break ground on a $90 million paper mill project in Keffi, describing it as one of the major investments expected to boost development in Nasarawa.
