has flagged off the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment as well as the Conditional Cash Transfer to facilitate the education of girls from poor backgrounds.
While performing the flagging off at the Victoria Gowon Hall, New Government House, Little Rayfield Jos, Governor Lalong said the programme which is a partnership between the World Bank, the Federal Government and Plateau State was initiated to encourage and restore hope to girls that have dropped out of school as a result of lack of fund, cultural hindrances to education, or non-availability of schools in their immediate communities.
He said the Rescue Administration places high value on the girl-child education, hence the commitment in seeing to the successful launching of the conditional cash transfer and school improvement grant.
