Education Minister Alausa Launches Initiative for Girls' Welfare

The Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to prioritizing Nigerian children's welfare and education at the national flag-off event for distributing two million packs of sanitary towels and back-to-school materials to girls in public basic education schools across Nigeria. The event took place at the State House Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja, and was led by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu as part of the Flow with Confidence 2.0 initiative, marking the 2026 International Day of the Girl Child.

Alausa praised President Bola Tinubu for his focus on children's education under the Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing that girls' education is vital for Nigeria's future. The First Lady highlighted the initiative's aim to promote girls' dignity and education, recalling the original Flow with Confidence program launched on October 2, 2025.

Plans for scholarships targeting 100,000 learners were also discussed, alongside commitments from UBEC to enhance access to quality education.
