The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa has called for accurate use of data from the Ministry’s digital data platform to hold federal agencies, state governments and local authorities accountable for education outcomes across the country.
The minister said the newly launched Digitalised Nigeria Education Management Information System, DNEMIS, would provide researches, investors and journalists with verified education data to strengthen evidence-based reporting and public accountability.
Alausa who was speaking at the 2026 Annual Education Summit of the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria, said the DNEMIS platform contains information on teacher-to-classroom ratios, pupil enrolment, school infrastructure and other indicators down to the individual school level.
Other education agencies’ chief executives used the occasion to highlight progress and successes in the last three years of the renewed hope agenda.
For the Chairman of the Education Correspondents Association of Nigeria, Chuks Ukuwatu, the summit was convened to assess the Tinubu administration’s education reforms, review progress and identify challenges facing the sector.
