A significant step towards inclusive education in Nasarawa State was taken with the inauguration of Kassim Muhammed-Kassim as the Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB). In his inaugural address, Muhammed-Kassim made a strong commitment to ensuring that all school-age children, particularly the often-marginalized “Almajiri,” gain access to free and compulsory basic education.

He declared that parents who fail to send their children to school would face fines, highlighting the seriousness of this new mandate. The chairman emphasized his determination to create a supportive learning environment for all children and to shift the board’s focus towards initiatives that directly benefit the state’s residents and NSUBEB staff.

Governor Abdullahi Sule, who inaugurated the board, stressed his administration’s unwavering commitment to strengthening basic education, recognizing it as crucial for building an egalitarian society and urging the new leadership to enhance the teaching capacity within the state. This new drive signals a strong push towards universal literacy and a brighter future for all children in Nasarawa.
