In a bold step toward revitalizing Nigeria’s educational sector, the Federal Government has inaugurated a high-level committee to draft comprehensive Public-Private Partnership (PPP) guidelines.
This move, championed by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa CON, aims to harness private sector funding to address infrastructural and capacity challenges, especially in secondary and tertiary institutions.
At the inauguration, Dr. Alausa stressed the urgency of innovation and collaboration in education financing: “Government cannot do it alone… We must leverage private funding to modernize and sustain our educational system. The PPP guidelines will ensure strategic, transparent, and impactful private involvement.”
While commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2025 budgetary support and TETFund efforts, he noted they remain insufficient: “We must innovate and break away from the old ways.”
The committee, chaired by the Honourable Minister of State for Education (represented by Director of Special Duties), includes ministry directors, and representatives from ICRC, Housing Ministry, and other stakeholders. Its terms of reference include creating PPP benchmarks, reviewing legal frameworks, defining stakeholder roles, setting performance indicators, oversight structures, and proposing penalties for non-compliance.
Dr. Alausa added: “If we do this right, this document can be a model for other ministries.” The committee has three months to deliver.
Other speakers, including representatives of the Honourable Minister of State, Permanent Secretary, and key directors, affirmed commitment to the initiative and its transformative potential.
