Governor Uba Sani said the project will deliver 102 climate-resilient schools and rehabilitate 170 learning centres across 23 LGAs, targeting girls, children with disabilities, and internally displaced children. The initiative aligns with the Federal Government's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) agenda and aims to reintegrate out-of-school children into the formal system. Read also, With over 18 million children currently out of school nationwide, the governor stressed that education investment is central to economic growth and SME development, noting that a skilled workforce underpins entrepreneurship and industrial expansion. Partners in the project include the Islamic Development Bank, Global Partnership for Education, Education Above All Foundation, Save the Children International, and UNICEF. Kaduna has fully met its counterpart funding obligations, pledging transparent implementation. | | | |
