Project RAISE

Vision

By December 31, 2025, we will have the most competent technocrats with a passion to formulate and implement policies aimed at establishing Nigeria as the world’s centre for academic excellence. We will have a seamless alignment between local, state and federal governments, sharing information and resources to implement ONE national plan while demonstrating true support and visible commitment to academic excellence.

We will have the world’s most transparent and accountable public sector dedicated to the most effective utilisation of all budgetary allocation to the education sector. We will have prompt disbursement and consistent payment of teachers’ salaries, pensions, and student scholarships. We will have a total removal of all bureaucratic bottlenecks in the evaluation and approval process for great ideas in education. We will have a public sector with a total focus on implementing a 25-year rolling plan for education.

Strategy

We will utilise the vastness of our influence and network to reach out directly to all the key decision-makers (including the President, the Honourable Minister for Education and all Special Advisers on education matters, every Executive Governor and Commissioners for Education as well as Youth and Sports) and every relevant and active pressure group to secure their support to build Nigeria into the world’s centre for academic excellence by Dec 31, 2025 as well as endorse the project RAISE plan.

At NO CHARGE to the government, we will send motivational speakers to every State Ministry of Education and parastatal to share our national vision of building Nigeria intothe world’s most desirable nation to live in and the world’s centre for academic excellence by Dec 31, 2025.We will restore the lost hope in the future of our great nation in the mind of every teacher and share the 10 VALUES that must be imbibed and demonstrated asa way of life in order to re-build a great nation.

We will facilitate a NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION where every stakeholder (particularly those from the local, state and federal governments) would deliberate on a national plan for education and would articulate the key elements for implementation of the plan from the public sector perspective.We will recognise the achievements of every State Commissioner for Education and Local Education Director (LED) with the greatest number of scholars (students that have scored a distinction in at least 80% of their subjects.

We will also publish the bio data of every minister, commissioner and LED that has demonstrated tangible support for the project RAISE on our world wide website and through the platforms offered to us by our media partners. We would also give special recognition to these outstanding government officials at our partners’ conferences. Furthermore, we will get notable and respected citizens and their international counterparts (e.g. the US Secretary for Education, South African Minister for Education etc.) to present awards to these outstanding government officials at our award nights.
