UBEC Advocates Innovative Communication for Education

The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) called on public relations and information officers to embrace innovation and strategic communication to better promote government interventions in basic education. This appeal was made by the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Dr Aisha Garba, during the commission’s 12th Annual Training Workshop in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

The workshop was opened by Dr Kassim Mohamed, Chairman of the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board. Dr Garba, represented by Mr Edward Ababalaka, emphasized the importance of effective communication in educational development, stating that successful government interventions depend on how well their outcomes are communicated.

She highlighted progress in areas such as school infrastructure and teacher development, urging officers to document success stories to build public confidence. Mrs Kemi Abass, Acting Head of Corporate Communications at UBEC, encouraged participants to adopt proactive communication strategies that demonstrate the impact of government initiatives on education.
