COORDINATION AND DELIVERY
National direction.
Local responsibility.
Coordinated by CIE Nigeria, with implementation shaped around state and institutional needs.
The national framework provides shared standards and partnership direction. State and network teams organise local delivery. Schools retain responsibility for their routine operations, teaching and appropriate use of information.
BenSEP provides the first state reference, retaining its place within Smart Benue and Innovate Benue.
