....AS EKSG APPROVES PROMOTION OF 1, 994 TEACHERS
The Ekiti State government has spent N2 billion on primary education.
Governor Kayode Fayemi made this known yesterday while inaugurating a six classroom storey building at Odundun Nursery and Primary School in Ogbon Oba, Ado-Ekiti.
Fayemi said the state was among the first to pay the counterpart funding of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) scheme between the Federal Government and states.
He said the N2 billion was spent over the three years of his administration on the 2011 and 2012 counterpart fund; construction and renovation of classrooms; rehabilitation of schools affected by rainstorms and the supply of instructional materials and furniture for teachers and pupils.
Fayemi said his administration had approved the promotion of 1,994 teachers and the payment of professional allowance to teachers.
He said teachers in rural areas would now be given cars instead of the motorcycles earlier announced.
Fayemi said the government had established Mega Early Child-Care Development Centres in each of the three senatorial districts.
The governor reassured the people that education, which is the fourth item on his administration’s Eight-Point Agenda, would be vigorously pursued.
