FG Moves to Scrap JSS–SSS Separation Policy Over Rising Student Dropouts

The Federal Government has announced plans to discontinue the policy separating the administration of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) and Senior Secondary Schools (SSS), describing it as an ineffective reform that has contributed to rising school dropout rates.

Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, made the announcement on Tuesday in Abuja, saying the policy, which created separate management structures for JSS and SSS, has failed to achieve its objectives. According to him, it has created unnecessary administrative bottlenecks and made it more difficult for students to progress from junior to senior secondary school.

Alausa said millions of students expected to move from JSS to SSS are failing to make the transition, describing the situation as unacceptable. He directed officials of the Federal Ministry of Education to prepare a position paper for presentation to the National Council on Education (NCE) to facilitate the review and eventual discontinuation of the policy.

The minister also inaugurated a committee to ensure that Smart Schools, Bilingual Schools and Alternative Schools across the country become fully operational. He said the committee would accelerate project implementation, remove bottlenecks and ensure government-funded schools are completed, equipped, staffed and opened to students.

Alausa stressed that no publicly funded educational facility should remain abandoned or underutilised, noting that every completed school left unused represents lost opportunities for Nigerian children. He added that the Federal Government aims to make all Smart Schools and Bilingual Schools operational before the end of the year while focusing on measurable improvements in learning outcomes.

This loan will reflect in our national debt and as usual morons will believe Tinubu borrowed it.

Our Renewed Hope Education reforms are delivering measurable results.

I’m pleased to see Nigerian universities record their strongest performance yet in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This year, 24 Nigerian universities were ranked globally, up from 21 in previous years, making Nigeria the most represented country in Sub Saharan Africa. Even more encouraging, 17 of those institutions are federal universities, reflecting the progress we are making in strengthening our public higher education system.

Congratulations to the University of Ibadan, the University of Lagos, Bayero University Kano, and every Nigerian university recognised in this year’s rankings. This achievement belongs to the entire higher education sector and demonstrates what is possible when institutions are committed to excellence.

These rankings are not just about prestige. They are evidence that our investments in research, innovation, digital transformation, quality assurance, infrastructure, and governance are beginning to translate into global recognition.

Even more encouraging, 27 additional Nigerian universities participated in this year’s assessment, demonstrating a growing commitment to transparency, benchmarking, and continuous improvement.

Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we remain committed to the Nigerian Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), ensuring our universities produce the knowledge, innovation, and talent that will drive Nigeria’s future.

The work continues.

"No serious Nigerian should opposed State Police. If the Federal Government can have federal police, nothing should stop a state government and even local government to have their own police." — Femi Falana in 2024

But yesterday, June 25, 2026 on Channels TV, he kicked against the same State Police 😆

[Alli-Balogun H.Lekan @allibaloo]

That hatred for Tinubu is partly because he practically took away the favourite talking points of many political analysts.

For years, the daily conversation was the same: Remove subsidy, float the exchange rate, establish state police, and devolve more powers to the local governments.

Then Tinubu suddenly appeared from somewhere and said, “Okay, let’s do them.”

Now, whether you agree with his implementation or not, the talking points have changed completely.

If na you nko, you go like the man?

Dear University of Ibadan (@UniIbadan), I hope this message meets you well. I have a relative who scored 289 in JAMB and already passed GCE Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Further Maths, etc.

I am a bit concerned, because we have struggled to find details of your cut off marks for MBBS on your website or any reliable platform. Could you make this information public please? Many thanks.

Dear Honourable Minister @DrTunjiAlausa, well done for all the excellent reforms in the last 2 years. It would be great if you are able to mandate all Universities to make their cut off marks public as done in other progressive countries. This will improve clarity and reduce corruption in the admission process. Many thanks sir! CC @NigEducation.
