FG INTRODUCES NATIONAL TEXTBOOK RANKING SYSTEM TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND STANDARDISATION IN SCHOOLS The Federal Government has introduced a National Textbook Ranking System for Primary, Junior and Senior Secondary Schools to strengthen quality assurance and standardisation in Nigeria’s education sector. The initiative aims to address the proliferation of textbooks and ensure that only high-quality, curriculum-compliant materials are approved for classroom use. The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, alongside the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Sai’d Ahmad, stated that the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) will retain its statutory role of approving textbooks. However, approved textbooks will now undergo a structured national ranking process to identify the most suitable options for each subject and level. NERDC will establish Standing Subject Committees comprising experts to conduct rigorous evaluations based on defined academic and pedagogical standards. Only a limited number of top-ranked textbooks will be approved, ensuring improved quality control and consistency nationwide. Under the policy, any textbook not ranked will not be permitted for use, regardless of prior licensing status. Implementation will commence from September 2026 following stakeholder engagement and completion of the evaluation framework. The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to improving learning outcomes and ensuring access to high-quality educational resources.

🚨 FAKE ALERT 🚨 A viral message claiming a new vehicle tax will take effect from July 1, 2026 is FALSE. The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has officially debunked the claim. According to Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser to the NRS Chairman and spokesperson for the agency, the message did not originate from the NRS or any government institution. The fake infographic was designed to look authentic, using government logos and directing citizens to a fraudulent website to make payments. This is a clear attempt to mislead and scam Nigerians. Do NOT click suspicious links or make payments based on unverified information. Always rely on official government channels for accurate updates. Stay alert. Stay informed.
