Why ASSEP is a ‘Game Changer’
Shettima emphasized that ASSEP is not just an education program—it’s a strategic intervention designed to:
✅ Equip youth with advanced skills for employment and entrepreneurship.
✅ Strengthen secondary education to boost literacy and innovation.
✅ Rebuild human capital in a region recovering from conflict and economic setbacks.
Education as the Foundation for Development
Recognizing that education fuels long-term growth, Shettima commended the NEDC for investing in learning infrastructure, teacher training, and vocational programs, ensuring that young people in the North-East have a brighter future.

“We can actually jump ahead into the industrial age,” he added. We can reach 600 teachers in 71 institutions from 100 teachers. When I consider all of the NEDC’s intervention areas, none more excite my imagination or capture the essence of the times than this ASSEP.
It is a real game changer because, due to the many advantages they provide, people are investing in digital educational tools in other parts of the world. Personalized learning, enhanced accessibility, and better knowledge retention are all made possible by VR headsets, which allow students to participate in remote learning.
Shettima urged cooperation between the Federal Ministry of Regional Development, the NEDC, and other pertinent parties to guarantee effectiveness.
