The Federal Government has handed over Monitoring Smart Boards Dashboard to the Federal Capital Territory Universal Basic Education Board (FCT UBEB).
Special Adviser to the Minister of Education on Media and Communications, Ikharo Attah announced this in a statement on Wednesday.
Attah explained that the initiative, powered by the Nigerian Education Data Infrastructure (NEDI) and implemented by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, was designed to strengthen school supervision, improve accountability, and support real time data driven decision making across basic education institutions.
Speaking at the handover ceremony in Abuja, the Director of Information and Communication Technology at the Federal Ministry of Education, Zainab Abukur, representing the Minister of Education, described the deployment as a key step in translating the Renewed Hope Agenda into practical improvements in the nation’s education sector.
She explained that the Monitoring Dashboard will display real-time data from NEDI which will enable education administrators to access accurate and up to date information on school performance and operations remotely. This, she noted, will reduce dependence on routine physical inspections while ensuring faster, more informed, and evidence based decision making.
She further stated that the adoption of digital tools reflect the Federal Government’s determination to build a more efficient, transparent, and responsive education system that prioritises learning outcomes and accountability.
Acting Chairman of the FCT Universal Basic Education Board, Florence Wenegeme, who received the dashboard on behalf of the Board, described the intervention as timely, strategic, and aligned with ongoing reforms in the education sector.
She noted that the platform will strengthen internal management systems, improve oversight of schools across the Federal Capital Territory, and enhance overall service delivery. She also commended the Federal Government for sustaining reforms that were modernising education administration.
Following the handover, a technical team conducted a demonstration of the dashboard, showcasing its monitoring capabilities and operational features designed to support seamless supervision and improved data management.
The Federal Ministry of Education therefore assured Nigerians that it remains firmly committed to deepening reforms, expanding digital innovation, and ensuring that every initiative translates into measurable improvements in access, quality, and efficiency across Nigeria’s education system.
