Borno State Education Summit Unveils Construction Milestones of One Hundred and Twenty New Schools Under Zulum

The Borno State Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, with support from the Malala Fund, has hosted the Borno State Education Summit themed 'Strengthening Safe, Inclusive and Gender-Responsive Education.' During the summit, the Commissioner, Hon. Lawan Abba Wakilbe, detailed the architectural expansion executed under Governor Babagana Umara Zulum since 2019, including the construction of 120 new schools (54 AGILE type, 23 mega schools with 30 classrooms, 20 Higher Islamic Colleges), the rehabilitation of 1,087 classrooms, and the setup of 17 ICT digital learning centers.

Protracted regional insurgency shocks severely damage basic educational infrastructure, displace thousands of children, and create systemic gender gaps in learning access. Deploying large-scale capital investments to construct mega physical classrooms, expand modern Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and embed digital ICT centers foster post-conflict recovery, suppress youth unemployment, and ensure long-term social stability.

This comprehensive educational audit demonstrates a highly disciplined approach to post-conflict reconstruction planning, institutional capacity building, and multilateral donor integration. Prioritizing safe, inclusive infrastructure models directly reinforces the subnational human capital development index.
