Benue Government Builds 740 Primary Schools

Benue Government says it has constructed 740 primary schools while several others are undergoing renovation. The commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Dennis Ityavyar, disclosed this in Makurdi today.

“During our last round of supervision, we discovered that majority of the primary schools were completed while work was ongoing on a few others.

“Our emphasis is to lay a solid foundation of education both through policies and structures.”

He also said the administration was discussing with the Federal Government toward converting the state College of Education in Katsina Ala to a Federal College of Education since none existed in the state.
