The Minister conveyed these sentiments during the inaugural edition of the Basic Education Summit in Nigeria, held in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom state.

He highlighted the belief that the challenges in the education sector are surmountable through determination, strategic planning, creative thinking, commitment, and collaborative teamwork.
The summit’s agenda is designed to tackle current and emerging issues in basic education, encompassing challenges such as low enrollment rates, foundational learning and numeracy, school security and safety, funding, research, capacity building, and teacher professional development, among others.
Director of Press and Public Relations, Ben Bem Goong, confirmed in a statement that the week-long summit will conclude on Friday.
During his keynote address at the summit, Executive Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom state emphasized the need to return to an era when essential teaching and learning facilities, including teacher accommodation on school premises for effective supervision, were provided for basic schools. He pledged that his administration would set an example and lead the way in transforming basic education in Nigeria, ensuring that stakeholders gain comprehensive insights into the intricacies defining basic education in the nation.
Governor Umo underscored states’ commitment to aligning with Federal government policies and programs. He stressed that the success of stakeholders’ endeavors depends on the harmonization and coordination of resources and activities within the education subsector. He reiterated that the future of the country rests in the hands of its children.

THE ₦400 MILLION TRAIL: Police Expose How PFIPC DG Adeyemi Blew Massive Funds!
A comprehensive Nigeria Police Force (NPF) investigation report, finalized on July 24, 2026, has revealed that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged operator of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), misused approximately ₦400 million on personal expenses. Contrary to Adeyemi’s claims that this sum was a facilitation fee to secure a government appointment through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, police found no evidence of such a transaction. Instead, forensic analysis confirmed forgery of appointment letters and other official documents, with financial records showing the funds were spent on luxury items, vehicles, and relatives. Further compounding his financial situation, Adeyemi allegedly secured an additional ₦100 million loan to maintain his high-end lifestyle.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation also uncovered severe lapses in due diligence across several government bodies, which allowed the fraudulent council to gain official recognition. Five senior public officials—including directors in the offices of the Accountant-General and Head of Service, and staff from the Budget Office and Ministry of Budget—have been identified as having facilitated Adeyemi’s access to government processes. The NPF has recommended the prosecution of these officials, subject to legal counsel, alongside the interrogation of 22 other individuals connected to the case. The findings have been forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation and other relevant security and government agencies.
