Taiwo Olatunbosun, commissioner for information in Ekiti, says the World Bank Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning has surpassed its primary target of enhancing school enrollment.
He explained that the commitment of the administration to educational excellence necessitated the declaration of free and compulsory education at both primary and secondary school levels in the state. He added that the state government paid N6.2 billion as counterpart funding to benefit from the Universal Basic Education fund and deployed another sum of N400 million to offset debts owed contractors handling projects at the State Universal Basic Education Board as part of efforts to build and sustain the education sector.
He said admission forms are already out, free of charge, for interested adolescent girls between the ages of 10 to 20 that did not finish schooling but are willing to re-enroll to complete their education.
