ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria’s education sector receives a major governance boost as new agency leaders are inaugurated to drive reforms and accountability nationwide.
The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, presides over the ceremony in Abuja on Wednesday, inaugurating board members, reaffirming chief executives, and appointing key institutional leaders.
“This is not merely procedural, it symbolises our unwavering commitment to repositioning education,” Alausa says, stressing the government’s reform agenda.
He credits Bola Ahmed Tinubu for enabling policy reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that education remains central to national transformation.
Addressing appointees, the minister calls for “strategic oversight and accountability” while urging leaders of the Federal University of Agriculture and Entrepreneurship, Bama, to “lead with vision, integrity and excellence.”
He also highlights the importance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, emphasising its role in industrialisation and skills development.
Alausa cautions reappointed executives against complacency, urging innovation to improve “access, quality, equity and relevance” in education delivery.
The Federal Government says the appointments will strengthen institutional governance, tackle learning poverty, and align Nigeria’s education system with global standards through data-driven reforms.
