Poor Welfare: I Will Make Unannounced Visits To Unity Schools – Alausa

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has decried poor welfare, and infrastructure, in schools across the country, especially Unity Schools.

Tunji Alausa said to have first-hand experience with the situation of Federal Government Colleges, known as Unity Schools, he would be embarking on unscheduled visits.

Alausa stated this while at the Queens College Yaba in Lagos, on Monday. He decried the state infrastructure in the school, stating that work would commence at the school to bring it back to its glory days.

“It is clear that the school requires significant infrastructural improvements to adequately and safely accommodate its students and staff. Queens College, established almost 100 years ago, has long surpassed its original capacity.

“To ensure that our students benefit from an appropriate student-to-teacher ratio, sufficient resources, and adequate facilities for boarding and feeding, we must maintain a standard capacity across all Unity Schools and Federal Government Colleges.

“In line with our commitment to promoting quality assurance in education, the Federal Ministry of Education will collaborate with Principal Obabori and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to redesign, refurbish, and build new facilities at Queens College, including a library, dining areas, hostels, and classrooms,” Alausa said.

The Minister of Education emphasized that the mission of President Bola Tinubu is to provide education for all Nigerian children.

“Over the next several months, I will be conducting unannounced visits to other Unity Schools and Federal Colleges.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mission for the education sector is simple: to provide better education for all. This is the goal that the Ministry and I are dedicated to achieving,” he added.
