Hyacinth-Alia

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has said his administration will build good structures in primary schools across the state because the existing ones are out of fashion.

Speaking at the inauguration of projects executed by the Executive Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board ( SUBEB), Dr. Grace Adagba, to mark her 100 days in office, Alia stated that primary school teachers would no longer use chalk board in classes for teaching because he would provide modern instructional materials for teaching.

The governor said the projects inaugurated were for the enhancement of Basic Education in the state by building teachers’ capacity.

He noted that the UBE is a basic nine-year programme that ensured all children of school age have basic education.

He expressed satisfaction with Dr. Adagba’s performance and called on other appointees to emulate her leadership quality.

Dr. Adagba, on her part, said the projects were made possible by the governor to revolutionise basic education.

She urged members of staff to key into the agenda of the present administration and improve standard of basic education.

“Through the support of the governor, I have been able to set up a Digital Resource Centre, remodel the main gate, build the new office of the executive chairman,” she said.
