NGThe National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has criticized state governments for failing to implement the National Policy on Non-State Schools, which was introduced by the federal government in July 2025. The policy aims to regulate and support private, faith-based, and community schools across Nigeria. NAPPS President Yomi Otubela emphasized that while the policy is commendable, its success depends on strong political commitment from state governments, as education is under the Concurrent Legislative List. He called for clearer implementation guidelines, accountability measures, and collaboration with stakeholders to improve the quality and accessibility of education. Helen Idiong from Plan International echoed these concerns, noting that weak political will and competing priorities hinder effective implementation.
