The Universal Basic Education Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability following a strategic engagement with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission aimed at deepening institutional collaboration and strengthening preventive anti-corruption frameworks.
The high-level meeting focused on developing sustainable mechanisms to curb corruption risks within the education sector through structured capacity-building programmes, cross-departmental training, and proactive system reviews.
Central to the discussions was the role of the ICPC Academy in equipping personnel with the knowledge and tools required to promote ethical standards, institutional discipline, and transparent service delivery.
Officials noted that strengthening human capacity remains critical to improving governance outcomes in the basic education sub-sector.
Through targeted training initiatives and institutional reforms, UBEC aims to reinforce internal controls, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure that resources allocated for basic education are effectively utilized for national development.
The Commission emphasized that expanding access to quality basic education must be supported by strong governance structures rooted in integrity and accountability.
According to UBEC, well-trained personnel and transparent processes are essential to sustaining progress and delivering measurable outcomes across schools and communities nationwide.
Reaffirming its mandate to serve the Nigerian child, UBEC stated that it will continue to empower staff, improve institutional systems, and collaborate with relevant agencies to uphold best practices in public sector management.
The Commission added that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to building trust, strengthening institutions, and promoting excellence in the delivery of basic education across Nigeria.
