The Federal Ministry of Education has launched the 2025–2027 Communication Strategy and Framework to promote transparency, strengthen policy engagement, and build public trust in Nigeria’s education sector.
Unveiling the framework in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, described it as a blueprint for telling Nigeria’s education story with “clarity, credibility, and consistency.” He stressed that effective communication is not a peripheral activity but a central pillar of reform and accountability under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Education is not only about classrooms and textbooks; it is about shaping the destiny of our children and the prosperity of our nation. That future cannot be built in silence—it must be explained, debated, supported, and embraced by the Nigerian people,” Alausa said.
The minister praised President Tinubu for what he described as unprecedented budgetary allocations to the education sector, noting that the funding had supported infrastructure upgrades, teacher training, and the rollout of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI).
He highlighted ongoing progress in technical and vocational education, basic education, and efforts to address the challenge of out-of-school children, including the introduction of free tuition and stipends in federal and selected state technical colleges as well as the reintegration of tens of thousands of learners.
Alausa maintained that reforms could only succeed if they enjoyed the trust and active support of the Nigerian public. He warned that launching transformative policies quietly or without sufficient public awareness often bred misconceptions, resistance to change, or lack of ownership among those they were meant to serve.
According to him, the new framework is designed to change that trend by ensuring Nigerians are fully informed and engaged in education reforms.
