Education is a major driver of national development in different parts of the globe. It is the fundamental factor that determines human capital development. Unfortunately, in many developing countries, the factors needed for educational transformation tend to be lacking, thereby undermining the intellectual empowerment of the masses. Consequently, UNICEF, an international governmental organisation has for decades continued to empower the minds of learners across the globe. This study used secondary literature to analyse the contributions of UNICEF to the development of education in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria. It found that UNICEF has contributed multi-dimensionally in transforming education in the FCT. The study is significant because it will contribute to the body of literature on the role of international organisations and nation-building in Nigeria while promoting scholarly works in the area of educational development.
