The Kogi State Commissioner for Education, Hon. Wemi Jones, has assured the Ganaja Village Community in Ajaokuta Local Government Area that the state government will establish a Government Secondary School in the community.
This pledge was made during a meeting with community leaders, led by Hon. Abdulraheem Sani Egidi, Member Representing Ajaokuta Federal Constituency, who submitted a request for the establishment of a Government Secondary school in the community.
According to Hon. Jones, the State Government, under the leadership of Governor Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, is committed to ensuring access to quality and affordable education for all children in Kogi State.
He emphasized that education is a tool for addressing poverty and degradation in society and that the state government will prioritize it to address the challenges facing the community.
The commissioner noted that the state government’s free education policy aims to reduce the burden of school and examination fees on parents and decrease the number of out-of-school children in the state.
He also promised that the State Government would restore the old glory of public schools, where students can develop their minds and speak impeccable English without needing a university education.
Hon. Abdulraheem Sani Egidi expressed the community’s loyalty to the administration and praised its policies, which he said benefit the people of the state.
He emphasized the need for a Government Secondary School in Ganaja Community, citing rapid population growth and the lack of access to public Secondary School education.
Other officials, including the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Integration and Harmonization, Hon. Haruna Muhammad Ganaja, and the Special Adviser to the Governor on State Emergency Management Agency, Hon. Musa Sandra, were present at the meeting.
