The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) has distanced itself from a fake document circulating in the public, requesting financial support for the production, printing and nationwide distribution of the Revised Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) for the 2026/2027 academic session. Executive Secretary of NERDC, Professor Salisu Shehu, who issued a disclaimer on Monday in Abuja, described the purported correspondence as fictitious, frivolous and unauthorised. “The Management of NERDC hereby strongly and unequivocally disclaims any document or correspondence, under any guise or arrangement, requesting support from any institution for the production, printing and distribution of the Revised Basic Education Curriculum (BEC),” part of the statement read. Shehu, therefore, called on government agencies, educational institutions, stakeholders and the general public to ignore any correspondence purportedly issued by NERDC requesting financial support for the exercise. The Council reiterated that all legitimate information regarding the Revised Basic Education Curriculum would be communicated through its official channels.
