The Nasarawa State Government on Monday commenced the World Bank’s Adolescent Girls Initiative For Learning And Empowerment project, aimed at improving 490 public secondary schools across the 13 local government areas of the state.
Speaking while flagging off the project in Lafia, the state capital, Governor Abdullahi Sule noted that the project was approved following the payment of a N150million counterpart fund by the state government.
He explained that with the AGILE project, the state government now has the opportunity to address the challenges of access, retention and quality of girls’ education at the secondary schools in the state.
While commending the Federal Ministry of Education for considering the state for the School Improvement Grant, Sule reiterated his administration’s commitment towards supporting the World Bank’s AGILE project to succeed in the state.
