By joshua Nanahawa Kazeem Wows Presidential Media Tour Dinner With 6-Minute Masterclass On Kogi Education Reforms
Lokoja, July 19, 2026
Representing the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Nanahawa Kazeem, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Education, delivered what many have described as the standout presentation at the Presidential Media Tour Dinner held on 18th July at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Lokoja.
Tasked with presenting Kogi State’s education and human capital development reforms in just seven minutes, Kazeem wrapped up in 6 minutes and 59 seconds — a display of precision that drew instant commendation.
Chief Sunday Dare, CON, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, publicly acknowledged her for keeping strictly to time and delivering with clarity.
Among the four presentations delivered during the evening, Nanahawa’s address was singled out for its confidence, clarity, and compelling storytelling.
Instead of reading from slides, she walked the audience through Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo’s transformative investments in the education sector.
She highlighted the administration’s landmark achievements: the implementation of free education policies, payment of external examination fees for students, increased investment in educational infrastructure, and the expansion of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
Kazeem also spotlighted improved access to tertiary education and strategic initiatives designed to equip young people with market-ready skills.
According to her, these reforms are central to strengthening Kogi State’s human capital and preparing the next generation for opportunities within and outside the state.
Her ability to compress a comprehensive account of the administration’s education reforms into less than seven minutes — without losing depth or impact — earned admiration from government officials, journalists, and stakeholders in attendance.
The performance further underscored Kogi State’s commitment to effective governance and strategic communication under Governor Ododo’s leadership.
As conversations from the Presidential Media Tour continue across media platforms, one question keeps coming up in government and media circles:
*Who is Nanahawa Kazeem?*
For many who watched her presentation, the answer is clear: a young public servant driving Kogi’s education story with data, passion, and precision.
