In a country where education is a key pillar for national development, a bold new initiative Nigeria Goes to School is stepping up to address the urgent need for equitable and widespread access to learning. Spearheaded by Ambassador Prince Odiete Daniel, popularly known as Mr. Nigeria Tourism & Culture, this visionary program targets schools across Nigeria’s 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
A Vision for Educational Equity
At its core, Nigeria Goes to School is more than just a campaign it’s a movement aimed at promoting universal access to quality education for every Nigerian child. With over 10 million out-of-school children in the country, the initiative comes at a crucial time, striving to bridge the education gap while fostering peace, unity, love, and socio-economic development across communities.
The Driving Aims
The initiative is grounded in four central aims:
- Promoting access to education: Making learning accessible and inclusive for all.
- Reducing out-of-school numbers: Actively working to bring children back into classrooms.
- Encouraging lifelong learning: Building a culture where literacy and continuous personal development are valued.
- Uniting through education: Using education as a tool for national cohesion and peace-building.
Key Objectives for Impact
To bring these ambitions to life, Nigeria Goes to School has outlined five concrete objectives:
- Awareness Creation
Through community engagement and public outreach, the initiative raises awareness about the importance of education, especially in rural and underserved areas. - Advocacy and Policy Support
The team collaborates with policymakers, NGOs, and educational stakeholders to champion reforms that prioritize educational access and quality. - Capacity Building
Teachers and schools benefit from training, resources, and support systems designed to enhance the learning environment and outcomes. - School Enrollment Campaigns

Scholarships, mentorship programs, and support services are provided to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring they have the tools to thrive academically.
A Mission That Inspires
The mission is clear and powerful: To empower every Nigerian child and youth with access to quality education, fostering personal growth and societal development.
This mission reflects a commitment not just to educational outcomes, but to the transformation of lives, communities, and ultimately, the nation.
