UBEC Takes Over LUMINAH 2030 to Empower 1m Girls by 2030
The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has assumed control of the LUMINAH 2030 initiative from the Federal Ministry of Education to ensure its sustainability and long-term impact.
Executive Secretary Aisha Garba said the programme—launched in March 2025 with World Bank support—aims to educate and empower one million underserved girls through schooling, skills training, caregiver support, and community engagement.
The initiative, already running in 12 states and the FCT, will now be fully integrated into UBEC’s 10-year roadmap to align with national education priorities.
