Radda, who flagged off the disbursement on Friday at the TESS Project Office in Katsina, described the initiative as clear evidence of his administration’s unwavering commitment to improving educational standards.
He said education remains a key priority because sustainable development is only achievable through meaningful investment in human capital.
He outlined his vision to build an inclusive, functional and accountable education system capable of preparing children to compete effectively in the modern world.
“Our vision is to build an education system that is inclusive, functional, accountable and capable of preparing our children to compete effectively in the modern world,” the governor stated.
He said the N6.1 billion fund must be utilised with the highest level of transparency, prudence and accountability, strictly in accordance with approved guidelines.
Radda called on School-Based Management Committees, parents, community leaders and teachers to support the initiative and ensure proper utilisation and maintenance of executed projects.
In his remarks, the State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Yusuf Suleiman Jibia, said the AGILE project is advancing inclusive education through the distribution of specialised learning materials to learners with special needs.
“This important intervention underscores our collective resolve to ensure that every child, irrespective of physical condition or learning difficulty, is given equal opportunity to learn, grow and realise their full potential,” he said.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Katsina State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Kabir Magaji, commended Governor Radda’s strides in the education sector.
On his part, Abubakar Abdulhamid, State Project Coordinator of the AGILE Project, disclosed that 104,111 female students had benefited from the project’s conditional cash transfer incentive designed to support their education.
