Anambra, Enugu, Kwara, and Plateau top list of states that have failed to access over 66.8                               
Billion Naira from the Universal Basic Education Fund since 2017. 
  
Following the analysis of the response from the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to a                             
Freedom of Information (FOI) request filed by YouthHubAfrica in March 2020, it was discovered that                             
Anambra, Enugu, Kwara, and Plateau topped the list of states that have failed to access over 66.8                                 
billion Naira from the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Fund for over three years — from 2017 till                               
date. These four states combined were the only states yet to access UBE Funds of 2017 with over                                   
4.06 billion Naira in Education funds domiciled with the Universal Basic Education Commission. 
 
In the response from the Universal Basic Education Commission, only Osun and Jigawa have                           
accessed UBE Funds of 2019, leaving 34 states including FCT with a total of 53.19 billion Naira                                 
unaccessed funds.The UBEC Fund is provided by the Federal government wherein states are                         
required to provide 50% counterpart funding in order to access the matching grants. 
 
As a civil society organization, it has become necessary to demand immediate action from                           
concerned state governors in accessing grants disbursed to their various states for the benefit of                             
improving the quality of basic education in Nigeria as a whole. It is important to note that this has                                     
become a recurring problem with states unable to access UBE funds meant to support education in                               
their states. This speaks to institutional challenges in the way the UBE funds is currently                             
structured: 
 
Following these revelations, we call on: 
 
● The National assembly through its committee on education to call for a public hearing on                             
the status of the state of UBE Grant disbursement from 2005 till date and the urgent need                                 
for reforms in order to find innovative ways to unlock these resources for the benefit of the                                 
Nigerian child. 
 
● The Government of Anambra, Enugu, Kwara and Plateau to take immediate and urgent                         
action to access its untouched UBE funds from 2017 till date. This will help improve the                               
quality of education in their respective states, particularly in the light of the impact of                             
COVID-19 on education nationally. 
 
● The Nigerian Governors Forum to organise a peer review on the UBE matching grant to                             
proffer concrete ideas for reforms of the UBE Funds 
 
It is no longer tenable that a country with one of the highest number of out-of-school children in                                   
the world will have over 66.8 billion Naira in untapped education resources. As the nation prepares                               
to re-open schools in the light of COVID-19, it is imperative that State Governments mobilise all                               
available resources to ensure that no child is left behind and all children are safe, even in their                                   
learning environment.

Rotimi Olawale,

Press release on unaccessed UBE funds since 2017

  • 1.                 Anambra, Enugu, Kwara, and Plateau top list of states that have failed to access over 66.8                                Billion Naira from the Universal Basic Education Fund since 2017.     Following the analysis of the response from the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to a                              Freedom of Information (FOI) request filed by YouthHubAfrica in March 2020, it was discovered that                              Anambra, Enugu, Kwara, and Plateau topped the list of states that have failed to access over 66.8                                  billion Naira from the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Fund for over three years — from 2017 till                                date. These four states combined were the only states yet to access UBE Funds of 2017 with over                                    4.06 billion Naira in Education funds domiciled with the Universal Basic Education Commission.    In the response from the Universal Basic Education Commission, only Osun and Jigawa have                            accessed UBE Funds of 2019, leaving 34 states including FCT with a total of 53.19 billion Naira                                  unaccessed funds.The UBEC Fund is provided by the Federal government wherein states are                          required to provide 50% counterpart funding in order to access the matching grants.    As a civil society organization, it has become necessary to demand immediate action from                            concerned state governors in accessing grants disbursed to their various states for the benefit of                              improving the quality of basic education in Nigeria as a whole. It is important to note that this has                                      become a recurring problem with states unable to access UBE funds meant to support education in                                their states. This speaks to institutional challenges in the way the UBE funds is currently                              structured:    Following these revelations, we call on:    ● The National assembly through its committee on education to call for a public hearing on                              the status of the state of UBE Grant disbursement from 2005 till date and the urgent need                                  for reforms in order to find innovative ways to unlock these resources for the benefit of the                                  Nigerian child.    ● The Government of Anambra, Enugu, Kwara and Plateau to take immediate and urgent                          action to access its untouched UBE funds from 2017 till date. This will help improve the                                quality of education in their respective states, particularly in the light of the impact of                              COVID-19 on education nationally.    ● The Nigerian Governors Forum to organise a peer review on the UBE matching grant to                              proffer concrete ideas for reforms of the UBE Funds    It is no longer tenable that a country with one of the highest number of out-of-school children in                                    the world will have over 66.8 billion Naira in untapped education resources. As the nation prepares                                to re-open schools in the light of COVID-19, it is imperative that State Governments mobilise all                                available resources to ensure that no child is left behind and all children are safe, even in their                                    learning environment.     Signed,  Rotimi Olawale,  Executive Director, YouthHubAfrica     For more inquiries please contact Malti Danjuma, 09050423735, ​malti@youthhubafrica.org
