Alausa: A Disruptor in Education

Nigeria’s education system has been trapped in a cycle of stagnation for decades, failing to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. Symptoms of this failure include high youth unemployment, a mismatch between education and labour market demands, and an over-reliance on theoretical learning. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s youth unemployment rate stood at 42.5% in 2023, highlighting the education sector’s struggle to align with economic realities.

Dr. Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, is driving a fundamental shift under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. With bold initiatives and data-driven policies, he is challenging the status quo to address deep-rooted issues in the system.
