UNESCO estimates that out of the total population of students enrolled in education globally, more than 89% are currently out of school because of COVID-19 closures. This represents 1.54 billion children and youth enrolled in school or university.

In this episode of I Am Change Podcast, Korede Azeez talks with Amina Abubakar about how Nigeria's education sector might suffer or thrive as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amina is the Coordinator of FlexiSAF Foundation.

FlexiSAF Foundation provides access to education for vulnerable and marginalized children who otherwise wouldn’t have access to quality education. Their goal is to ensure these children with the tools they need to become superstars.

What happens to vulnerable children who would normally struggle to access quality education?

Is it too late for Nigeria to adopt digital learning on a wide scale?

The humanitarian sector in Nigeria has

evolved over the years, making huge

impact on citizens and improving societal

well being, while also aiding the growth and

development of the nation through the

different social intervention schemes car-

ried out by state and non-state actors. It is

on record that the sector holds huge

potential for socio economic transformation, but the Nigerian government before

now has not been able to harness the

sectoral opportunities due to poor coordi-

nation and lack of better management

approach.

However, the decision by the President Muhammadu

Buhari led administration setting up the Federal

Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development on Wednesday August 21st

2019 by an Executive pronouncement is poised to

change the fortune of the humanitarian sector in

Nigeria and by extension Africa for the better if

well-manage. The responses from stakeholders in

the sector have been overwhelming, as a lot of

stakeholders are beginning to postulate that the

ministry, if well-coordinated and managed through

contemporary innovative strategic approach and

deliverables, could be the next big thing for national

socioeconomic transformation.

The later inspired the Nigeria Humanitarian Action

(NIHA) platform which is poised to drive contemporary

initiatives that are aimed at the growth and develop-

ment of the humanitarian sector in Nigeria. The NIHA

inaugural Honorary Interactive Dinner is set to host

the Honorable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs,

Disaster Management and Social Development and

her team in the new ministry. One of the strategic

goals of the Nigeria Humanitarian Action (NIHA) –

Honorary Dinner is to create proper stakeholders’

synergy and support for the overall success of the

new ministry by bringing the entire stakeholders in

the humanitarian workplace together to demonstrate

solidarity, interact and share ideals. The platform

offers to convene and bring together all major stake-

holders in the humanitarian sector by the National

Democracy Stakeholders Group (NDSG) and it

promoters – Save the Future of the African Child also

known as M-MASS, Pan Africa Global Charity in

collaboration with sector stakeholders nation-wide.

Happy New Year to our Listeners.
