Nigeria and Italy have formed a partnership to raise $5 billion for global education financing through the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). The collaboration was highlighted during a high-level event in New York, USA, on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. President Bola Tinubu emphasized the alignment of GPE's vision with Nigeria's agenda of improving educational outcomes by investing in access and teacher capacity building.
Vice President Kashim Shettima highlighted education as an investment in Nigeria's economic future, productivity, and stability, and mentioned the administration's increased funding for education and reforms to strengthen basic education financing. Nigerian Education Loan Fund is being utilized to widen access to higher education, while unclaimed dividends and dormant funds are also being considered for the same purpose.
