The National Council on Education (NCE) under the auspices of the Federal Ministry of Education has restored the Junior Secondary Schools (JSSs) of the 104 Federal Unity Colleges (FUCs) which were disarticulated in 2005. Rising from its 56th Meeting in Abuja which held from 1st to 5th March 2010, the NCE resolved to restore the junior secondary component of the FUCs to advance the course of national unity and integration, promote academic excellence and act as model for public and private schools. In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, the Council emphasized that the running of the JSS in the Federal Unity Schools did not contradict the 2004 Universal Basic Education (UBE) law as the FUCs were also special intervention efforts by the Federal Government.
in its efforts to ameliorate the acute housing problems facing Federal Civil Servants throughout the country, the Federal Government has released the sum of N10 billion to enable them obtain loans to build their own houses.

Meanwhile the N10 billion has been deposited at the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN).
