Tinubu Give Ex-Governor new Appointment

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Senator Umaru Tanko Almakura as Chairman of the Governing Council of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).

Established under the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act of 2004, UBEC is tasked with ensuring free and compulsory basic education for all Nigerian children of primary and junior secondary school age. The Act aims to improve access to quality education, reduce dropout rates, and elevate overall educational standards across the nation. UBEC plays a crucial role in coordinating the implementation of the UBE programme at both state and local government levels.

Senator Almakura’s appointment is a commendable choice. A statesman of integrity and a committed Nigerian nationalist, he brings to the role a track record of service and unwavering dedication to national development. Congratulations to Senator Almakura on this well-deserved appointment.
