Niger State Government Launches UBEC Smart School Renovation

The Niger State Government has begun renovations on the UBEC Smart School, the only institution of its kind in the state, to restore its facilities and enhance technology-driven learning. This Federal Government-owned school was established to provide modern education through digital learning facilities, including computers, internet access, and a 24-hour power supply.

However, the school had fallen into disrepair, suffering from damaged roofs, obsolete computers, and non-functional solar power systems that hindered its operations. Under the leadership of Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, the state government is taking action to renovate the school and restore its original purpose of providing a technology-based learning environment.

This initiative is part of a broader investment in education by the administration, which includes constructing over 1,000 classrooms, plans to completely reconstruct 54 schools, and the ongoing Bago Mega Schools project. The renovation is expected to strengthen educational infrastructure and improve access to quality learning facilities across Niger State.
