Follow Taraba gov’s example on education sector, NANS urges other govs
The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has charged the 36 state governors to prioritize efucatuon at the state level.
NANS, which gave the charge in Friday, singled out Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State for praise for giving education the needed support in the state.
In.a statement on Friday, signed by its National President, Usman Umar Barambu, the association said it “received with great joy and excitement the news of some major development in the educational section of Taraba State by His Excellency Dr. Agbu Kefas.”
The governor, during an unscheduled visit to Taraba State University,TSU, Jalingo, said he “gave an executive order of reduction of school fees by 50%.”
Also, on his assumption of office on May 29, 2023, the governor declared a state of emergency in the education sector.
His actions, they are certain, will go a long way in cushioning the hard effect of the economy on the people of Taraba State and will make education attractive and accessible to the common man.
The statement read partly, “In this era of economic hardship and rapid rise in prices of commodities and services with little or no increase in the minimum wage, the governor has continued to do the needful, especially in the education sector.”
