GOODNEWS: Universal Basic Education Commission Ranks Benue State Top Basic Education Development In Nigeria
The Executive Secretary, Universal Basic Education Commission,
(UBEC), Alhaji Suleiman Dikko, stated this during a courtesy call on
Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi.
Dikko lauded Ortom for ensuring the payment of matching grants and
intervention in outstanding issues between striking primary school
teachers and government despite the state financial challenge.
He said going by the determination and pace at which the Ortom administration is addressing issues affecting education and other sectors, the future of the state is bright.
Dikko, who said he was in the state as a representative of the Federal Government in basic education development, expressed the concern of President Muhammadu Buhari over the falling standard of education in the country, particularly at the primary level.
He charged stakeholders to be committed to the implementation of government’s education programmes.
He said basic education development programme focuses on girl-child education, out-of-school-children syndrome and the almajiris, to give them western education alongside vocational training, and overall make them relevant to themselves and the society.
Responding, Ortom, represented by his Deputy, Benson Abounu, assured Dikko of government’s support.
He admitted that reading culture was disappearing, noting that this was why his administration keyed into the e-Library project of UBEC by establishing one at the Benue State University among other institutions in the state.
