I'm currently at Queens College conducting an unannounced inspection. Our goal is to ensure that all of our federal schools and unity colleges are operating transparently and maintaining equitable standards for all students.

This morning, I conducted an unannounced inspection at Queens College, Yaba, Lagos, to assess its current infrastructure, leadership, and the welfare of the students. Upon my arrival at 7:45 AM, I was pleased to see the majority of students lining up for assembly, with both the academic and non-academic staff, including the principal, already present and ready to begin the school day. During my visit, I held separate discussions with students, teachers, and the principal to better understand their challenges and needs. It is clear that the school requires significant infrastructural improvements to adequately and safely accommodate its students and staff. Queens College, established almost 100 years ago, has long surpassed its original capacity. To ensure that our students benefit from an appropriate student-to-teacher ratio, sufficient resources, and adequate facilities for boarding and feeding, we must maintain a standard capacity across all Unity Schools and Federal Government Colleges. In line with our commitment to promoting quality assurance in education, the Federal Ministry of Education will collaborate with Principal Obabori and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to redesign, refurbish, and build new facilities at Queens College, including a library, dining areas, hostels, and classrooms. Over the next several months, I will be conducting unannounced visits to other Unity Schools and Federal Colleges. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mission for the education sector is simple: to provide better education for all. This is the goal that the Ministry and I are dedicated to achieving. I extend my thanks to the principal, teachers, and students for their warm reception and look forward to working with the school’s leadership to ensure better pay and welfare packages for our teachers and improved educational outcomes for our students. #EducationForAll

This is what America and China are doing — building armies of skilled individuals. For Nigeria to compete with these great nations, we must take a page from their playbook. Scott Adams once said, “Every skill you acquire doubles your odds of success.” This is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and our Federal Ministry of Education strategy. That’s why we are aggressively reviving our technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system. We aim to equip young men and women with “life skills” that will enable them to be productive members of their communities, while also improving their employability and career opportunities. TVET is one of the cornerstones of our 6-point agenda to reform our education system. We will be creating opportunities for our young Nigerians both men and women to give them life skills to improve their employability irrespective of their level of education — from basic education to tertiary institutions. A skilled workforce is key to President Tinubu’s vision for the nation. We will also be adding to our TVET curriculum life skills in Renewable Energy (Solar), compressed natural gas (CNG) and mechanised farming to also support PBAT’s agenda of ensuring food security in our country. We are working to build a better nation for the next generation.

Evidence based decision making is how we will transform Nigeria’s education sector. We have an access to education challenge, and solving it means removing unnecessary barriers, without compromising quality. We are strategically reforming outdated restrictions that no longer serve our students or our nation. Our goal is clear: to equip young Nigerians with the knowledge and skills needed to drive national development and build a $3 billion education economy, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR’s vision. Click the link below to watch the full interview and learn more about the reforms we are implementing across the sector.

“When the President campaigned he said a 4 year course, will be a 4 year course in our universities. The President has been in government for 2 academic sessions and since then there has not been a single strike. That did not happen by coincidence ” Click the link below to watch the full interview:

Under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Federal Government is committed to completing the National Library Headquarters in Abuja. Over the past few months, the Federal Ministry of Education has held several meetings with members of the National Library team and its contractors to discuss the resumption of the project. The project, which was designed in 1981 and began construction in 2006, is the third (3rd) of three national monuments (the National Ecumenical Centre and the National Mosque) that has yet to be completed. This week, my team and I toured the project site with the CEO of the National Library, the project’s architect, and contractor to assess the progress made before construction paused in 2012. By June 2025, we will proceed with Phase 1 of the project, which will include the completion of Basement Levels 1 and 2, the Ground Floor, the Second Floor, and the building's external works and furnishings. Mr. President is deeply passionate about Nigeria’s human capital development, of which education is an integral part. The President has also instructed TETFund to allocate funding towards the project to ensure its resumption and completion. With a National Library, we can provide all Nigerians with a communal learning environment to help them grow and become their best selves.

Since I assumed the position of Minister of Education, I have received numerous messages and letters from Part-time ND and HND students and those who have transitioned to full-time courses about their exemption from National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). As I told the students at Yaba Tech today, the Federal Ministry of Education and our agencies stand with you. The Presidency stands with you as well. You should not be exempted from participating in NYSC. I will be meeting with the Director-General of the NYSC in March to discuss this matter further. A solution is on the way.

This Government WILL NOT Tolerate Exam Malpractice. This week, I had the privilege of inaugurating a committee dedicated to improving the quality of examinations in Nigeria. We have allowed exam malpractice to persist for far too long, and its reach has extended beyond students to include parents, teachers, invigilators, and even examination bodies themselves. This has gone on without consequence — until now. Today, we say: No more. The committee, composed of representatives from WAEC, NECO, JAMB, FME Directors, NABTEB, the All Nigerian Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), Chairs of Principals of Federal Unity Colleges (FUCs), the Council of Commissioners of Education, and others, will collaborate to standardize examination practices and implement lasting solutions to address systemic leakages, exam impersonation, fraud, and inadequate supervision. As a short-term measure, we will introduce the local swapping of candidates. This means that students will take exams within their local areas and be randomly swapped to prevent any form of malpractice. By 2027, we aim to fully transition to computer-based testing (CBT) for all exams. The President’s mandate is clear: provide high quality education to our citizens. Under his leadership, this Ministry will work tirelessly to create a merit-based system, founded on quality and fairness, where every candidate has an equal opportunity to succeed.
