Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has made another significant announcement, declaring free education in all primary and secondary schools in the state.
This decision, which comes in response to the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), aims to alleviate the financial burden on families and ensure that education remains accessible to all.
During an assessment tour at Ebenezer Primary School in Wukari, Governor Kefas emphasized that it is the government's responsibility to bear the expenses of education, and students should not be subjected to any fees. This declaration not only fulfills a campaign promise but also addresses the hardships faced by citizens due to the removal of fuel subsidy.
Governor Kefas has been committed to prioritizing quality education and has previously declared a state of emergency in the education sector. Just two days before this announcement, he had already reduced university school fees by 50 percent at Taraba State University in Jalingo. The governor's actions reflect his unwavering dedication to ensuring that education is accessible and affordable for all Taraba State residents.
The news of free education has brought joy to many students, who believe that this reduction in fees will significantly improve their lives.
