How it started
Nigeria boosts education funding and infrastructure in Northern regions
What happened
The Tertiary Education Trust Fund budget increased sharply from N320.3 billion in 2023 to N1.6 trillion in 2025, representing five times the 2023 allocation. Separately, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund disbursed N84 billion to support approximately 414,000 students in the North-West zone. Furthermore, Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, cited federal support for reconstructing the 123-kilometre Kaduna–Birnin Gwari road.
Why it matters
The increased federal investment in education and infrastructure is cited by Uba Sani as a factor improving security and allowing schools and primary healthcare centers to reopen in the region. Supporters of Bola Ahmed Tinubu claim that these reforms and infrastructure deliveries are laying the foundation for a stronger economy in Northern Nigeria.
