The Executive Governor of Jigawa State, His Excellency Umar Namadi, has paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC),  Aisha Garba, at the Commission\u2019s headquarters in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit focused on strengthening the partnership between Jigawa State and UBEC, with particular emphasis on addressing critical challenges in the basic education sector. Governor Namadi reaffirmed his administration\u2019s unwavering commitment to improving educational outcomes across the state. He called for deeper collaboration to tackle pressing issues such as maintenance of infrastructure and teacher shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor Namadi also highlighted innovative strategies being employed by the state to boost school enrollment, particularly the engagement of women as community influencers and mobilizers. He noted that women are playing a pivotal role in raising awareness about the importance of education and encouraging parents to enroll their children, especially girls, in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her response, the Executive Secretary commended Jigawa State for its strong track record, especially in the timely payment of counterpart funding, effective implementation of UBEC-supported projects, and commitment to transparency. She noted that Jigawa\u2019s dedication has earned the state increased financial support and greater access to intervention funds. She also informed the Governor that Jigawa was part of the beneficiaries of the Hope-Edu World Bank funded project that will kick off soon in addressing challenges in the basic education sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key highlight of the meeting was UBEC\u2019s renewed commitment to intensify capacity-building initiatives in Jigawa State. The Commission plans to launch targeted programs aimed at improving the skills of teachers and education managers, ultimately enhancing service delivery and learning outcomes at the basic education level. This visit marks a significant step forward in the collaborative effort between UBEC and the Jigawa State Government to ensure that every child has access to quality, inclusive, and equitable education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
