Nigeria is witnessing a tragedy of epic proportions.
While our constitution guarantees basic human rights for all citizens, this is far from the reality for many of us.
Nigeria's unemployment rate will hit 37% in 2023.
The insecurity rate is 19.1%.
63% of persons living within Nigeria (133 million people are multidimensionally poor.
In the 2022 Global Hunger Index, Nigeria ranks 103rd out of 121 countries. With a score of 27.3, Nigeria has a severe hunger level.
About 20 million students are out of school in Nigeria.
76.36% of candidates that sat for the examination obtained credits and above in a minimum of five subjects.
These statistics reflect a broken system that makes it difficult for most students to thrive and fulfil their potential.

The statistics reflect a broken system that makes it difficult for the majority to thrive and fulfill their potential.
Children living in poverty are often the worst hit by these statistics, with their education — and therefore their life choices, being severely affected.
School closures during the pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities, and the children who were already most at risk of being excluded from quality education have been the most affected.
Building a Movement of Leaders
It will take a movement of leaders working together at all levels of the system to provide an excellent, equitable education to all of Nigeria’s children. Teach for Nigeria is committed to fuelling Nigerian leadership to guarantee our children their human rights and to enable them to fulfil their full potential.
