 GOV. ALIA SETS UP COMMITTEE TO RESOLVE EDUCATION MINISTRY, EXAM BOARD OVERLAP 


28th January, 2026     


The Benue State Government has constituted a committee to address reported overlaps in functions between the Ministry of Education and Knowledge Management and the Benue State Quality Assurance and Examination Board, particularly over the clearance of candidates for the 2026 Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE).


The move follows concerns raised by education stakeholders over duplicated responsibilities between the two bodies, which they warned could affect the smooth conduct of the forthcoming examinations.


In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Education and Knowledge Management, Dr Adamu Margaret Ijaguwa, it was disclosed that Governor Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia personally intervened and directed the Chief of Staff to convene a meeting of key stakeholders, which was successfully held on Tuesday.


After extensive deliberations, the meeting resolved that a committee be set up to review the law establishing the Benue State Quality Assurance and Examination Board, with a view to ensuring harmony with the existing Education Law.


The government also assured parents, school owners and the general public that principals should continue to present candidates at the Ministry of Education and Knowledge Management for clearance for the 2026 WASSCE, urging stakeholders to remain calm while the review process is underway.


“The Benue State Government is committed to ensuring that the education system operates efficiently and transparently,” the statement said.

It added that all critical stakeholders would be fully involved as the committee works to streamline operations and strengthen quality assurance in the education sector.


The ministry appreciated the cooperation and understanding of stakeholders, reiterating the state’s resolve to reposition education in Benue State.
