Summary
The administration and management of education in Nigeria rests on the Federal, State and Local Governments. The administration of the education system is done through the ministries of education at the federal and state levels, as well as statutory bodies referred to as commissions. Coordination of policy at the political level is handled by the National Council of Education, the highest policymaking body chaired by the Federal Minister of Education and all the State Commissioners of Education.
