“Serious policymakers do not gamble with data when designing interventions,” Olohungbebe stated, adding that the training speaks directly to the heart of effective governance.
He commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Honourable Minister for Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, and the leadership of NEDI for their foresight and sustained commitment to advanced the education system.
The training, holding from 20th to 22nd April 2026 at E-Phoenix Hotels, Ilorin, has brought together 39 EMIS Officers drawn from key institutions, including the Ministry departments, SUBEB, TESCOM, LGEAs, SAME, and the Arabic Education Board.
According to Olohungbebe, the involvement is rich, focused, and forward-looking, with the clear goal of deepening technical capacity on the Digital National EMIS (DNEMIS) platform for the 2025/2026 Annual School Census and learner data management.
The commissioner emphasized that when data is accurate, decisions are smarter, resources are better allocated, and outcomes improve.
“Kwara is aligning with global best practices building a system where evidence, not assumption, drives action,” he said.
