Nigeria's National Broadband Plan (NBP) 2020–2025 identifies education as a critical driver of digital inclusion, yet significant gaps persist between policy aspirations and implementation realities. This paper critically analyses the NBP's educational technology targets, focusing on device affordability, rural connectivity, student device schemes, indigenous language content, and local device manufacturing. Employing a policy analysis methodology that draws on official documents, national statistics, and secondary data, the study reveals systemic barriers including inadequate f u n d i ng , wea k i nter- agen c y co o rd i nat i o n , an d a predominantly infrastructure-centric approach that neglects pedagogical transformation. Findings indicate that as of 2024, achievement rates on key education targets average below 20% of stated goals. The paper concludes with evidence-based policy recommendations spanning governance restructuring, targeted financing, teacher capacity building, and indigenous language content development to accelerate digital inclusion in Nigerian education.
