The Nigerian Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, has announced a campaign targeting 10 million votes to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. The initiative focuses on mobilizing students, teachers, lecturers, and educational institutions. Alausa emphasized that re-electing Tinubu is in Nigeria’s interest, highlighting the need for continued leadership in education.
The strategy includes engaging professional bodies and local councils to build support across the education sector. Alausa stated that the campaign aims to strengthen public trust in Tinubu’s policies. The plan also involves direct outreach to educational professionals, with the goal of aligning the sector’s priorities with national development.
This effort comes amid ongoing government initiatives to improve education infrastructure and access. Earlier this year, the administration launched programs to address gaps in autism care, with Alausa playing a key role in coordinating training and diagnostic services. The education mobilization is part of a broader political strategy to consolidate support ahead of upcoming elections. The focus on education reflects the administration’s belief in the sector’s potential to drive national progress.
