President Buhari To Increase Education Budget By 50 Percent: President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to increase the budget for the education sector by as much as 50 percent over the next two years.

Buhari and other leaders signed a form of commitment on Wednesday at the meeting in London, United Kingdom.
