Jigawa State, Nigeria – In a landmark collaboration, NewGlobe has joined forces with the Jigawa State Government to launch the JigawaUNITE initiative, aimed at tackling the state’s literacy crisis. With statistics revealing that seven out of every eight children in Jigawa cannot read or write in English or their native Hausa, this initiative represents a transformative step toward ensuring that every child in the state has access to quality education.
Despite significant investments in the education sector, including a ₦120 billion allocation for education in 2025, the results have been insufficient. The JigawaUNITE initiative will leverage technology and data-driven solutions to improve literacy and numeracy across the state, ensuring that children’s learning outcomes are enhanced at scale.
“Education is the foundation of lasting prosperity. It is the surest path to economic growth and societal progress,” said Jay Kimmelman, Group CEO of NewGlobe. “JigawaUNITE is more than just an initiative—it is a movement to empower children, support teachers, and enable communities to thrive. This partnership is about ensuring that every child in Jigawa has the opportunity to realize their potential and contribute to a thriving and prosperous state.”
The initiative will initially roll out in over 1,000 schools across Jigawa, utilizing NewGlobe’s technology platform to support teachers and deliver real-time data to track student progress. This partnership demonstrates the Jigawa State Government’s commitment to long-term education transformation, with the aim of fostering systemic change and improving learning outcomes across the region.
The JigawaUNITE program underscores the importance of bold leadership in driving educational reform. Through this partnership, Jigawa is positioning itself as a model for how data-driven, technology-enabled education solutions can tackle long-standing literacy challenges and ensure that no child is left behind.
NewGlobe remains committed to delivering transformative outcomes for Jigawa’s children and communities, working alongside the government to create an education system that builds the foundation for a brighter future for all.
