Kaduna State Government is committed to the success of the Adolescent Girls Initiative Learning Empowerment (AGILE) programme of the World Bank as it has put necessary policies in place to ensure its implementation.

The state coordinator of the AGILE programme, Hajiya Maryam Sani Dangaji recalled how Governor Nasir El Rufai visited the World Bank 11 times to ensure that Kaduna state is part of the programme.

Hajiya Maryam disclosed this at the opening of the induction training for teachers, which held at the Kaduna State University (KASU).

She said that the project seeks to address the identified constraints that the girl-child faces in accessing and completing secondary education, adding that Kaduna state is among the seven states where the project is being implemented.
