The Government of Ekiti State under the leadership of Dr. Kayode Fayemi is upgrading the infrastructure of all public primary and secondary schools in the state.
The 781 school projects are distributed in order of immediate emergency and priority across the local governments in Ekiti State.
Despite the paucity of resources, the present administration led by Dr. Kayode Fayemi paid the outstanding counterpart funds due to UBEC in order to access UBEC funding which was not accessed between 2014-2018. This funding is making it possible to carry out the following ongoing projects in FY2020:
In primary schools, a total of 591 projects are ongoing: 196 new building construction, 146 new fences, 167 new toilets, and 82 boreholes. In secondary schools, a total of 190 projects are ongoing: 80 new building construction, 32 new fences, 55 new toilets, and 23 boreholes.
Governor Kayode Fayemi’s commitment is to ensure that all schools are properly standardised with the right facilities and capacity to improve pedagogy and educational outcomes and that Ekiti kete is enabled to catch up with global trends.
The Governor’s commitment remains undeterred and will be achieved as revenue and funding improve. #JKFatWork #Education
