Nigeria’s education sector is entering a new phase of transparency and reform implementation with the unveiling of the 2025–2027 Communication Strategy and Framework.
Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, who launched the plan in Abuja, described it as a “blueprint for telling Nigeria’s education story with clarity, credibility, and consistency.”
Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in Focus
Alausa stressed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had given unprecedented budgetary support to education, allowing for infrastructure upgrades, teacher training, and new initiatives.
He spotlighted the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), particularly the emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
Over 960,000 online applications have been received.
58,000 learners are already placed into training institutions.
Federal and selected state technical colleges will offer free tuition, accommodation, and stipends beginning in the 2025/2026 session.
Basic Education Transformation
The minister noted that in the last six months, the ministry had:
Constructed 4,900 classrooms,
Renovated 3,000 classrooms,
Distributed 353,000 pieces of school furniture, reaching 2.3 million students.
Additionally, nearly one million out-of-school children have been identified, with 35,000 reintegrated and plans set to roll out bilingual smart schools across 33 states.
Engaging Nigerians in Policy Success
Dr. Alausa underscored that reforms cannot thrive without citizen participation.
“That future cannot be built in silence, it must be explained, debated, supported, and embraced by the Nigerian people.”
The new communication plan is expected to tackle misinformation, improve stakeholder engagement, and build confidence in Nigeria’s education system.
