The Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission, Aisha Garba, has announced ongoing discussions on a partnership designed to improve the delivery of quality basic education in Nigeria.

Garba disclosed this in a statement posted on her official X account today, following a meeting with the President of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria and representatives of the African Institute for Solutions and Development.

“This week, I welcomed the President of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN) @MAAUNigeria, and his team from the African Institute for Solutions and Development (AISD).

“Their visit included the presentation of a proposed Strategic Partnership Framework aimed at supporting the successful implementation of the World Bank–supported HOPE Project”, she said, noting that the visit marked the beginning of talks to deepen collaboration between the institutions.
The HOPE Project, according to Garba, is one of UBEC’s major initiatives focused on improving access, quality, and infrastructure in basic education.

Garba explained that the proposed framework would help ensure its smooth execution.

She added, “The framework offers practical, evidence-based solutions ranging from turnkey toolkits and technical expertise to capacity-building programs, all geared to enhance UBEC’s capacity to deliver on its federal mandate.”
