He said that education remained one of the pillars of development.

“The State Government is seriously committed to ensuring that all children in the state are properly educated,” he said.

Lamai said the government had also concluded plans to embark on massive construction and renovation of primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions across the state.

“The decision to embark on massive construction and renovation of schools in the state is necessitated by the desire to provide quality infrastructure,” he said.

He said the government would ensure adequate provision of sanitary facilities in schools in the state.

“From time to time, the Nasarawa State Government will visit schools across the state to inspect the sanitary condition,” the director-general said.
