The importance of education economically, socially, religiously and in every other facet of life cannot be over emphasised. Yet, its current condition that inevitably reflects in our current deplorable state in these facets of life is a very sad one.

Nigeria currently holds the record for out-of-school children with a whopping 10.2 million, according to the ministry of education. This worrying statistic has to be tackled if Nigeria is to reach its SDG4 target ahead of 2030.

To this end, NMFUK has initiated a programme tagged NMFUK Education Program that attempts to stage an intervention in the education sector both in Nigeria and the UK, and collaborating with other organizations that share same objective.

NMFUK through its health scheme planned programmes aimed at raising awareness and improving the state of healthcare of the needy, within local communities in Nigeria. To achieve this, NMFUK through its members actively organised, supported and conducted a number of activities directed towards achieving these goals.

This included programmes where direct contact with people from local communities in Nigeria was made, with the aim of treating and managing acute and chronic health problems.

Involvement of local community stakeholders had been a key to carrying out these projects, and their contribution helped to change attitudes and provide opportunities for advocacy for health promotional programmes, education and training for healthcare staff, and collaboration with local community leaders and individuals. A consequence of these projects has been the desire for more local stakeholder driven programmes, to be carried out in the same and other newer local communities.
