Rights Group Launches Project To Track UBE Spending

THE Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED) in Kaduna State has launched an innovative data-driven project.

Addressing newsmen, Executive Director, CHRICED, Comrade Dr. Ibrahim M. Zikirullahi, stated that the project would help communities in Kaduna State track and report spending by relevant agencies, especially the State Universal Basic Education Board.

Zikirullahi pointed out that the spotlight on basic education is delivery because it is the bedrock of education.

“While inadequate funding has been one of the reasons for the low quality of service delivery in the Universal Basic Education (UBE), corruption and its damaging effects have derailed the potential of the policy to deliver quality basic education to citi- zens.

“This problem merits intervention due to its serious consequences for the millions of pupils produced by the basic education system, for the civil security of the society, and for our national development, hence the project: Social Mobilisation for Accountability in the Implementationof Universal basic education Funds ink ad una state .”
