Lokoja – The governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello of Kogi has flagged off the distribution of 11, 000 free textbooks to all Senior Secondary Secondary (SSS 2) students in public schools across the state.

The free Chemistry and Physics textbooks, was sponsored and donated by Alh. Ahmed Ododo, the state Auditor-General for Local Government, in support of the State Government’s School Adoption and Mentorship Programme.

Speaking at the Flagg off ceremony at the Abdulaziz Atta Memorial College, Okene, Bello commended the donor for the gesture, in supporting education in the state.

Bello, who was represented by the State’s Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr. Wemi Jones, said his Administration had given topmost priority to education, especially Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The governor emphasised that his commitment to revamping education sector in the state, necessitated the 30 per cent allocation to education in the 2022 budget, even beyond the UNESCO benchmark of 26 per cent.

This, he said had reflected in the execution of massive education infrastructure projects, as well as the ongoing recruitment of qualified secondary school teachers across the state.

Bello said aside building school infrastructures, the government was also committed to equipping the schools with well qualified teachers.

He explained that teachers’ recruitment too, had reached the final stage after the aptitude tests and the oral interviews were concluded, saying the final list was waiting for final approvals.

He added that the state had enacted education law, which empowered the ministry to sanction any person or group who tried to jeopardise government’s efforts in revamping education in the state.

He emphasised that the state government had shown sufficient commitment, hence the need for individuals and organisations to support government’s efforts through its School Adoption and Mentorship Programme.

He commended the donor, Ododo, for donating the 11,000 Physics and Chemistry textbooks to public schools in the state, describing it ”as the biggest intervention by individual in the sector so far”.

He further disclosed that another Kogi citizen had also promised to make provision for mathematics textbooks for the students.

He urged all the political appointees, well meaning individuals and organisations to emulate them, by embracing the state’s school adoption and mentorship programme.

He, however, cautioned schools’ principals and teachers against commercialising the textbooks, saying it was not for sale, but to be given to students free of charge.

He stressed that the ministry had put mechanisms in place to monitor the distribution of the textbooks, warning that erring individuals would be sanctioned.

The governor advised the students to justify the donor’s effort by making judicious use of the textbooks.

NAN reports that many dignitaries, royal fathers, school alumni and relevant education stakeholders were in attendance at the occasion.

The Chairman of Okene Local Government, Mr Abdulrasak Mohammad; the Ohi of Adavi, HRH Alh. Muhammad Bello, commended the donor for the gesture and the state for the initiative. (NAN/vitalnewsngr.com)
