People, gather here. Today, I am talking about the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Funds. It's gonna be a thread. Grab your popcorn and pay attention because I'll like you to do something for me at the end
The UBE program was introduced by former president Obasanjo in 1999 and passed by the National Assembly in 2004, as a signature education reforms bill, promising free and compulsory 9 years of education to every Nigerian child, and plenty Naira to support states #UBEFunds
So here's the catch, basic education is in the purview of states/local government to fund, so the UBE created a fund to support the effort of states, and to access these funds, the states need to match the grant Naira for Naira #UBEFunds
