Education is essential for the personal, social, and economic development of any nation. It empowers individuals and is the most effective way to eliminate poverty, corruption, unemployment, and environmental problems. As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world," and the GNA strongly shares this belief.
However, GNA recognizes that access to quality and affordable education is often beyond the reach of the average Nigerian. To address this issue, the Affordable World-Class Education (AWE) program has been launched to implement a tuition-free and affordable tertiary educational platform accessible to students across the country.
The AWE program will also provide a platform for Nigerian experts in the field of learning and education to collaborate, enabling them to develop and maintain an up-to-date academic curriculum that meets the current challenges of our nation. The transfer of knowledge is facilitated by leading scholars and academics with a genuine interest in educating young Nigerians, preparing them for the task of nation-building and development.
Furthermore, GNA is partnering with global leaders in tertiary education to provide the necessary support and assistance for its online platform.
GNA collaborates with individuals, organizations, and institutions that promote quality education and its affordability and view education as a guaranteed means of poverty reduction and positive behavioral change.
Investing in the future of the upcoming generation will yield positive results and enable us to discover new knowledge and work towards solutions to today's challenges, which will change the way we live and think tomorrow.
GNA's experts are conducting research and making technological breakthroughs and policy recommendations on issues that affect the lives of Nigerians.
