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. #EducationForAllshow more

BREAKING - Trump on Department of Education moments ago:... “I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look, the Department of Education is a big con job.” China wants nothing more than for us to stop funding education. FACTS: - Over half of the Department of Education’s budget is used to fund grants, work-study programs, and student loans for college students, mostly low income. - A huge portion funds programs that support students with disabilities, including special education services in public schools. States do not have the budgets for this and it will almost certainly lead to further disparities between rich and poor students' education. STUPID and/or Wealthy people are pushing this. They are the ones conning the middle and lower classes.show more

Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane faces backlash for chewing... gum in Parliament Higher Education Minister Dr Nobuhle Nkabane sparked public outrage after a video surfaced of her chewing gum during a parliamentary session on May 30, 2025. Following public outcry over alleged nepotism, she withdrew the appointments and reopened nominations, emphasizing transparency. However, her refusal to disclose the advisory panel’s names and her behavior in Parliament drew sharp rebukes from MPs, including the ejection of EFF MP Sihle Lonzi for pressing the issue. The incident has intensified scrutiny of Nkabane, who has prioritized expanding access to higher education and tackling NSFAS corruption since her appointment in July 2024. As public and parliamentary pressure mounts, calls for an apology and greater accountability persist.show more

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Trump's plans... to dismantle the Education Department: "The Department of Education has never educated a child.

🚨 When will the Department of Education address the... national security threat of Communist ideology in our schools? Take a good look at these kids in red state Idaho. These are minors being recruited by the PSL, the ‘Party for Socialism and Liberation.’ This is what a Communist foreign influence operation looks like. One of their leaders, ‘Matt They/Them’ coordinated a walkout of hundreds of underage students, luring them away from their schools to protest ICE in February. In the video, you can hear him screaming into a megaphone, leading kids in revolutionary chants. This is child recruitment for a Maoist-like revolution in the United States. Communists and Marxists had access to students’ phones, emails, social media pages, and class schedules. THIS IS IN IDAHO. Not a word from the Department of Education. This is fundamental transformation of the next generation. Where in the hell is the opposition party to this? Secretary Linda McMahon FBI FBI_Responseshow more

The Samuel Leeds School has finally opened, with over... 400 pupils already registered 🏫 This is not our first school building, but it is our first private school, offering financial literacy as well as core subjects. When I was at school, I was told I was stupid, and none of the teachers taught me anything about business or finance. Not only are we building schools that provide this education, but we are also working with the Ugandan government to improve the curriculums within state schools. Our next project will be a Centre of Excellence that provides online courses and remote training for not only the children but also the teachers. I have just pledged to the Ministry of Education that I would construct this building, volunteer my teaching time, and provide computers for the new centre. This has never been done before. Once this is proven to revolutionise the school curriculum and people see that the right education is the future of prosperity, I pray the UK will follow and allow me to offer my voluntary services to bring financial literacy across the country 🇬🇧show more

Why on earth does the US keep a for-profit... healthcare system that delivers worse outcomes at higher costs than countries with universal healthcare? The answer is infuriating: For-profit healthcare has generated 51 billionaires on Forbes' annual billionaires list, and in a country ruled by profit, creating billionaires is more important than investing in the health and well-being of its own people.show more

🚨 The reaction by conservatives thinking “Flyover country will... reject the Mamdani ideology” are grossly underestimating what’s happening. “Flyover country” are all soft targets for hijackings of students. And you, the American taxpayer, are funding it. Take a good look at these kids in Idaho. Minors are being recruited by the PSL, the ‘Party for Socialism and Liberation.’ One of their leaders, “they/them” led hundreds of underage students away from their schools to protest ICE in February. This is child recruitment for a Maoist-like revolution in a deep red state. Adults who are Marxists had access to the students’ phones, emails, class schedules, and their social media. Not a word or consequence from the Department of Education. This is how elections are won and lost. Where in the hell is the opposition party to this? Secretary Linda McMahonshow more
