Students at an Eko Secondary School. This case study was written by Sabrina Roshan, Roland Lomme, Halimatou Hima and Claudio Santibanez as part of the Delivery Case Studies series produced by the World Bank’s Nigeria Country Team under the guidance of Olatunde Adetoyese Adekola and Katherine Bain. The Delivery Case Studies series—part of the Doing Development Differently initiative—aims to generate knowledge on what works in Nigeria and why. These cases are among a number of instruments being piloted to help the World Bank continually improve its effectiveness as a partner to Nigeria. The Doing Development Differently pilot is task managed by Katherine Bain in the Governance Global Practice. The authors are grateful to Indira Konjhodzic for comments and support on earlier drafts. They also acknowledge the invaluable feedback provided by national stakeholders, including the former Project Coordinator and Special Assistant to the Governor, Ronke Azeez as well as editorial support from Amanda Green. The paper does not represent the views of the World Bank’s Board of Directors, and any errors are those of the authors alone. 1612750_Lagos_Eko.indd 2 4/4/16 8:53 AM ontents Contents C ExECutivE Summary v Tracing the Process v Lessons Learned vi introduCtion 1 thE dEvElopmEnt ChallEngE: nigEria’S high dEmand for EduCation, but low Quality 2 The Structure of Nigeria’s Education Sector 2 Challenges of Lagos State’s Education Sector 3 The Education Sector Politics in Lagos State 4 Launching the Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project to Improve the Quality of Education 5 Positive Project Improve, 2009–13, then Decline in 2014 5 Results Setback in 2014 6 Test Scores Bounce Back in 2015 6 thE dElivEry ChallEngE: tailoring intErnational Best praCtiCE to lEvEragE impaCt in thE nigErian ContExt 9 Targeting Interventions in Public Secondary Education to Maximize Impact in Lagos State 9 Why Target Secondary Education in Lagos State? 9 Why Focus on Education in Lagos State? 9 Identifying Best Practice Principles in Education Reform and Tailoring Them to the Local Context in Lagos State 9 Nurturing a Multilevel Culture of Performance in Lagos State 11 traCing thE process of thE Eko projECt: from Design to implEmEntation and bEyond 12 Challenges in Designing the Eko Project 12 Key Actors Trigger and Enable Change in the Education Sector 12 Alignment of Political and Institutional Leadership in Lagos State 12 Leaders with the Sector Experience Are Needed to Unpack Systemic, Root Problems 13 A Small but High-Powered PMU That Combined Internationally Competitive Technical Skills with Local System Knowledge and Effective Leveraging of State Institutions 13 A World Bank TTL Who Fostered a Partnership Based on Trust, Continuity, and Hands-on Supervision 13 Designing a Participatory Design Process Led by the State 14 Government-Driven Consultations Around a Clear Vision Leading to Strong Ownership of the Project’s Design 14 Role of State-Level Constituencies: Teachers, Principals, and Unions 14 Role of Nongovernmental Constituencies in Education Reform: Parents and Community Members 14 Implications of the Participatory Design Process in the Eko Project 15 iii 1612750_Lagos_Eko.indd 3 3/30/16 10:59 AM Eko Project Implementation Arrangements Designed to Span Government Levels with Clear Roles and Responsibilities 15 Design of Eko Project Systems for Data Collection and Analysis and Their Impact on Perceived Education Performance 15 Eko Project Implementation Challenges 17 Even in a Challenging Data Environment, a Data-Driven Approach Facilitates the Effective Use of Performance Incentives 17 Using Data Enables Accountability through Multistakeholder Monitoring of Program Performance 18 Adaptive Implementation Allows Flexibility to Seize Windows of Opportunity and Adequately React to Setbacks 18 Performance Data Can Help Identify Gaps and Provide Evidence in Support of Exit Strategies 19 The Status and Sustainability of Project Interventions at the Eko Project Closing 20 Sustainability Is Enhanced by Proving the Value Added of a High-Performing System 20 Lessons Learned 22 Eko Project’s Highly Consultative and Participative Design Process Leads to Achievements 22 Smooth Project Implementation Thanks to Participatory Design and International Best Practices 22 Building Project Sustainability from the Start 23 The Science of Delivery 23 BiBLiography 25 annexes Annex 1: Project Summary 26 Annex 2: Roles and Responsibilities for Project Implementation 27 Annex 3: Eko Project Implementation Arrangements 33 Annex 4: Basic Education Certificate Examination Results for Lagos State 38 LisT oF FigUres Figure 1: The Dynamics of Change in the Eko Project 6 Figure 2: Implementation Arrangements under the Eko Project 16 LaisT oF T BLes Table 1: Primary and Junior Secondary Gross Enrollment Rates by Household Consumption Quintile, Lagos, 2006 3 Table 2: WASSCE Scores at Public Secondary Schools, Lagos State 7 Table 3: Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project, Intermediate Results Indicators 7 Table A2.1: Component Management and Institutional Responsibilities 29 Table A2.2: Roles and Responsibilities for Implementation—State Level 31 Table A2.3: Roles and Responsibilities for Implementation of Additional Financing— Local Levels 31 Table A4.1: Basic Education Certificate Examination Scores, Lagos State 38 iv 1612750_Lagos_Eko.indd 4 3/30/16 12:00 PM Summary ecutive Executive Summary Ex this case study seeks to understand how the lagos Eko traCing thE process Secondary Education project (Eko project) in nigeria tailored international best practices to leverage impact during the Eko project’s design phase, a small set of through education sector reforms in lagos State’s public state actors served as essential change agents, leading a secondary school system.

  • The Politics of Architecture and Ur-Banism In
    The Politics of Architecture and Urbanism in Postcolonial Lagos, 1960–1986 DANIEL IMMERWAHR Department of History, University of California, Berkeley This is a preprint of an article to appear in the Journal of African Cultur- al Studies 19:2 (December 2007). It will be available online at http://journalsonline.tandf.co.uk/ After independence, the Nigerian government faced a number of choices about how to manage its urban environment, particularly in Lagos, Ni- geria’s capital. By favoring a program of tropical modernist architecture for its prestige buildings in Lagos and British New Town style for its housing estates there, the government sought to demonstrate both its in- dependence from European culture and its ability to perform the func- tions of a modern state. And yet, the hopes of government officials and elites for Lagos were frustrated as Lagosians, in response to new eco- nomic and demographic forces, shaped a very different sort of city from below. The Nigerian government’s retreat to Abuja and its abandonment of Lagos mark the failures of urban policymaking in Nigeria. 1. Colonial and Postcolonial Cities In the past twenty-five years, historians have devoted a good deal of attention to the spatial aspects of colonial rule. The ―colonial city‖ has emerged as an archetype fundamentally different from the metropolitan city. Anthony King‘s pioneering work (1976, 1990) emphasized the im- portance of the world economy in determining the shape of colonial ci- ties, and a number of case studies, including those of Janet Abu-Lughod (1980), Gwendolyn Wright (1991), Anja Nevanlinna (1996), and Zeynep Çelik (1997) have further explored the consequences of colonial urban policy.

  • The Changing Residential Districts of Lagos: How the Past Has Created the Present and What Can Be Done About It
    The Changing Residential Districts of Lagos: How the Past Has Created the Present and What Can Be Done about It Basirat Oyalowo, University of Lagos, Nigeria Timothy Nubi, University of Lagos, Nigeria Bose Okuntola, Lagos State University, Nigeria Olufemi Saibu, University of Lagos, Nigeria Oluwaseun Muraina, University of Lagos, Nigeria Olanrewaju Bakinson, Lagos State Lands Bureau, Nigeria The European Conference on Arts & Humanities 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The position of Lagos as Nigeria’s economic centre is entrenched in its colonial past. This legacy continues to influence its residential areas today. The research work provides an analysis of the complexity surrounding low-income residential areas of Lagos since 1960, based on the work of Professor Akin Mabogunje, who had surveyed 605 properties in 21 communities across Lagos. Based on existing housing amenities, he had classified them as high grade, medium grade, lower grade and low grade residential areas. This research asks: In terms of quality of neighbourhood amenities, to what extent has the character of these neighbourhoods changed from their 1960 low grade classification? This research is necessary because these communities represent the inner slums of Lagos, and in order to proffer solutions to inherent problems, it is important to understand how colonial land policies brought about the slum origins of these communities. Lessons for the future can then become clearer. The study is based on a mixed methods approach suitable for multidisciplinary inquires. Quantitative data is gathered through a survey of the communities; with findings from historical records and in-depth interviews with residents to provide the qualitative research.

    MINISTRY OF EDUCATION LAGOS STATE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ANNUAL SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2009 – 2010 JUNE 2010 LAGOS STATE SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2009-2010 Lagos State Ministry of Education August 2010 Lagos State School Census Report 2009-2010 Preface Data is acknowledged as being essential for effective planning of our education sector. In past years the annual school census has been less successful, but the November 2009 census was carried out in a totally new way. The process started with the development of an appropriate questionnaire for the purpose of getting relevant and accurate data geared towards planning needs. The questionnaire used in the past was shortened and drastically changed to meet these needs. Census personnel were trained on the questionnaire and a new method of data collection was used: enumerators interviewed head teachers rather than leaving teachers to interpret the form for themselves. The ministry received support from ESSPIN (Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria) on capacity building of the different levels of officers that assisted in the data gathering and analysis. All records were broken this year as the data was ready by the end of April 2010, as opposed to previous years when data would be ready for use at the end of the year, i.e. too late to be used in planning the next school year. This report captures the main features of the school census data, and is hereby presented for policy making and planning, and for use by researchers.
