Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to transforming Nigeria’s education system through reforms in skills development, digital learning, research, and the creative economy under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was highlighted at the Renewed Hope Conversations, University of Abuja Edition, where the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, engaged stakeholders on building a future-ready education system aligned with global standards.
The Minister stated that Nigeria is transitioning from theory-based learning to a system driven by skills, innovation, and technology. He noted that Artificial Intelligence, data science, and digital technologies are being integrated into curricula, alongside entrepreneurship programmes such as EIBC to promote job creation.
He further disclosed that institutions are benefiting from improved digital infrastructure, including mini-grid power, free internet access, and learning management systems, supported by a nationwide fibre rollout.
The government is also expanding TVET programmes, with over 160,000 beneficiaries and strong demand for further participation. Initiatives such as the Student Venture Capital Grant and plans for a National Research and Development Fund will support innovation and commercialisation.
