UBEC Distributes Educational Materials in FCT

The Nigeria===Universal Basic Education Commission (Nigeria) (UBEC), in collaboration with the Federal Capital Territory Universal Basic Education Board (FCT UBEB), has commenced the nationwide distribution of teaching and learning materials to public basic schools. This initiative, spearheaded by UBEC's Executive Secretary Aisha Garba, aims to strengthen foundational education, improve learning outcomes, and empower Nigerian children. The distribution is part of broader interventions, including the construction of over 10,000 classrooms, training of more than 500 teachers, and the supply of millions of textbooks and digital learning aids. The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) received a substantial allocation of approximately 140,000 items, including core textbooks, smart boards, and desktop computers, expected to benefit 10,000 pupils. The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's 'Renewed Hope Agenda' and has been commended by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Emir of Jiwa Idris Musa, who emphasized accountability in material utilization.
