The Federal Government has declared that education will serve as the engine room of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ambitious plan to build a $1 trillion Nigerian economy, unveiling far-reaching reforms aimed at producing a globally competitive workforce, expanding admissions into health institutions, and sustaining industrial peace across the nation’s universities.

Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, who disclosed this during an interview at the weekend, said the administration was fundamentally restructuring Nigeria’s education sector to transform the country’s youthful population into a highly skilled workforce capable of driving economic growth at home while supplying quality manpower to Africa and the global labor market.

According to him, President Tinubu’s unprecedented investments in education, skills development, and human capital are designed to position Nigeria as a leading exporter of skilled professionals.
