​Representing the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Haj. Sadiqat Shomope (Director, UBEC North West Zonal Office) stood before stakeholders to deliver a message of inclusion, progress, and “Renewed Hope” for every Nigerian child.
​In her speech she stated that;
​Education isn’t just about four walls; it’s about every learner, everywhere.

The National Flag-Off of the Distribution of School Records and Instructional Materials for the Integrated Quranic and Tsangaya Education (IQTE) Programme is a massive step toward bringing non-formal learning into the modern era.

The Commission distributed ​100,000 copies of standardized school records, registers, and lesson plans for IQTE Centres, targeting the North West, North East, North Central, and South West.
Not forgetting that past years UBEC has delivered 309 new classrooms, 145 recitation halls, and essential furniture for over 69,000 learners.

Familiarization Visit to Some Schools, in Faskari Local Government Education Authority by the Officials of Department of Special Programmes Faskari LGEA

The officials of the newly established Department of Special Programmes conducted a familiarization and data collection visit to selected schools in Faskari Local Government Area. The visit was aimed at obtaining firsthand data on learners with special educational needs and ensuring that the department’s field activities reflect its vision and mission of promoting inclusive and equitable education for all learners.

In line with the vision of providing equal access and learning opportunities for every child, the team identified pupils with various learning difficulties and disabilities across basic schools, Islamiyya, and Makarantun Allo. This served as an important needs assessment exercise to guide future intervention and support programmes under the department.

The officials also explored practical ways to enhance hands-on and functional skills among pupils, in keeping with the department’s mission of empowering learners with relevant life and vocational skills for independence and self-reliance.

Furthermore, the visit created an opportunity for interactive engagement with school administrators, teachers, and host communities, aimed at strengthening collaboration and community participation in achieving inclusive education for all categories of learners.

The Faskari Local Government Education Authority, under the dynamic leadership of Malam Bishir Laban Daudawa, pledged full support and cooperation towards realizing the goal of inclusive and accessible basic education across the local government.

In his commendation remarks, the Head of Department, Malam Saidu Almu Munhaye, who was unavoidably absent but ably represented by Malam Salisu Garba, the Assistant Head of Department, appreciated the officials for their commitment and urged them to redouble their efforts toward achieving the vision and mission of the department—ensuring that every learner, regardless of ability or disability, has access to quality, inclusive education.

Inclusive Growth and Hope for All: An Independence Day Message from the Department of Special Programmes, Faskari LGEA

Since Nigeria gained independence in 1960, the story of people with special needs has been marked by both struggles and progress. In the early years, many learners with disabilities were left out of formal education because there were no policies, no trained teachers, and very few support services. Families and voluntary groups carried most of the burden, and many children were denied the chance to learn and grow.

Over time, however, the government began to intervene. The National Policy on Education recognized the rights of children with disabilities to schooling. The Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme made education free and compulsory for all. More recently, the signing of the Disability Act (2018) and the establishment of the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities have been strong steps toward ensuring equal rights, accessibility, and opportunities. These are clear successes worth celebrating.

Yet, we cannot ignore the setbacks that remain—shortage of trained teachers, limited assistive devices, and schools that are not yet fully inclusive. These challenges remind us that the journey is not finished. But with continuous government commitment, community support, and the resilience of people with special needs themselves, we see hope for a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.

It is on this background that the Department of Special Programmes, Faskari Local Government Education Authority, was created—to ensure that learners with special needs in our communities are recognized, supported, and given equal opportunities to thrive.

Today, as we celebrate Nigeria’s Independence Day, we proudly say:

“Happy Independence Day to all people with special needs. You are an important part of our nation’s freedom story, our strength, and our future. Together, we move forward in unity, inclusion, and hope.”

Signed
HOD
