 There Are So Many People Around The President With A Rosy Picture Of What The Country Is — Onaiyekan I was not surprised the president wasn’t looking very happy, even his colleagues present. We knew this is different from what our president keeps receiving from people, and that is one of the things that worry us. We have the obligation to help him to appreciate the reality of the situation in which we have found ourselves.  John Cardinal Onaiyekan Archbishop Emeritus, Catholic Diocese of Abuja

 GOV. ALIA DECLARES FREE BASIC EDUCATION IN BENUE, LAUNCHES BRACE-UP INITIATIVE, BAGS NUT GOLDEN AWARD 


20th February, 2026  


Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia has announced free education for pupils in all government-owned public schools in Benue State from Basic One to Basic Nine.


The governor made the declaration on Friday at the maiden Benue Basic Education Summit held at the College of Health Sciences, Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi.


Alia said the policy was part of his administration’s commitment to ensuring that no child of school age is denied access to education. He explained that the decision was aimed at supporting poor and vulnerable families while building a strong educational foundation for the state’s future leaders.


The governor highlighted steps already taken in the education sector, including the recruitment of over 9,700 teachers, regular payment of salaries, and implementation of the harmonised retirement age for teachers.


He called on parents, traditional rulers, religious leaders and other stakeholders to support the enforcement of compulsory basic education, stressing that the future of the state depends on investing in its children.


As part of efforts to tackle the challenge of out-of-school children, the governor also launched a new initiative tagged Building Rights to Access and Compulsory Education for Un-enrolled Pupils (BRACE-UP).


According to him, the project will mobilise community leaders, parents and teachers to identify out-of-school children, create flexible learning pathways and track pupils from enrolment to completion. He pledged sustained funding and policy support in line with the Universal Basic Education framework.


In a related development, the national leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, led by Comrade Audu Titus Amba, presented the governor with a Golden Award for Education and Teacher Friendliness.


The union said the award recognises the administration’s efforts to revitalise basic education in the state.


Responding, Alia promised to clear outstanding arrears owed to retired teachers and reaffirmed his commitment to improving teachers’ welfare.


“You have taught me and I won’t cheat you,” the governor said.
