The government also allocated N63.19 million for the provision of white marker boards and smart boards for schools, while N35.85 million was allocated for the procurement of science, technical and vocational equipment.

The government also provided N888.59 million for disaster intervention in 50 secondary schools, N154.99 for fencing of schools, N125.99 for capacity building and N31.65 for accreditation.
