The Federal Government has officially delivered a Monitoring Smart Board Dashboard to the Federal Capital Territory Universal Basic Education Board, FCT UBEB.
Speaking at the handover ceremony in Abuja, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to advancing President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the education sector through digital transformation.
Represented by the Director of Information and Communication Technology at the Federal Ministry of Education, Zainab Abukur, the Minister said the initiative is powered by the Nigerian Education Data Infrastructure, NEDI, and implemented by the Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Minister on Media and Communication, Mr Ikharo Attah, said the scheme is designed to strengthen school supervision, improve accountability, and support real time data driven decision making across basic education institutions in line with the administration’s reform priorities.
Alausa described the deployment as a key step in translating the Renewed Hope Agenda into practical improvements in education governance.
He explained that the Monitoring Dashboard will display real-time data from NEDI which will enable education administrators to access accurate and up to date information on school performance and operations remotely.
According to him, this will reduce dependence on routine physical inspections while ensuring faster, more informed, and evidence-based decision making.
The Minister further stated that the adoption of digital tools reflects the Federal Government’s determination under the Renewed Hope Agenda to build a more efficient, transparent, and responsive education system that prioritises learning outcomes and accountability.
Also speaking, the Acting Chairman of the FCT Universal Basic Education Board, Florence Wenegeme, who received the dashboard on behalf of the Board, described the intervention as timely, strategic, and aligned with ongoing reforms in the education sector.
Wenegeme noted that the platform will strengthen internal management systems, improve oversight of schools across the Federal Capital Territory, and enhance overall service delivery. She also commended the Federal Government for sustaining reforms that are modernising education administration.
Following the handover, a technical team conducted a demonstration of the dashboard, showcasing its monitoring capabilities and operational features designed to support seamless supervision and improved data management.
The statement assured Nigerians that the Ministry remains firmly committed to deepening reforms, expanding digital innovation, and ensuring that every initiative translates into measurable improvements in access, quality, and efficiency across Nigeria’s education system.
