Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has inaugurated the construction of 21 model basic education schools in Adamawa State.
The ceremony, which took place in Girei on Thursday, aims to cover all 21 local government areas, ensuring each council receives its fair share of development strides.
Fintiri said that each council would receive a project worth a minimum of N1 billion as a reward for their bold decision in voting the PDP into office.
“It is a project worth ₦14,993,496,288.47, to be funded through collaboration with the 21 councils. We must do everything possible to take and return every child to the classroom,” he said.
Fintiri said that the government would continue to invest in the education sector as it is the key to unlocking prosperity and powering dignity, pride, and peace.
The governor also announced that the Ministry of Education and the Scholarship Board would soon roll out modalities for the state government’s award of fully-funded international scholarships in key areas of science, engineering, ICT, and artificial intelligence to 200 beneficiaries.
