Politics::: ORTOM TO EMPLOY 16,000 TEACHERS RENOVATE 444 SCHOOLS

The Benue State Government
 has unveiled an
 implementation strategy to
 employ 16,000 primary and
 secondary school teachers to
 boost development of
 education in the agrarian
 state.
 Governor Samuel Ortom
 stated this in Makurdi at the
 weekend during the
 presentation of the 2016
 Budget christened “Budget
 of trust, confidence and
 credibility.”
He added that out of the
 16,000 teachers to be
 gainfully employed, 10, 000
 are to be deployed to the
 primary school section while
 6,000 would be trained in
 the secondary school system.
 According to Ortom, one of
 the pillars of his
 administration is qualitative
 education, saying that
 government will renovate
 and furnish at least 400
 primary and 44 secondary
 schools across the state.
 He further stated that
 provision was made to
 upgrade the infrastructure of
 the College of Advanced and
 Professional Studies (CAPS)
 and Colleges of Education at
 Katsina-Ala and Oju towns.
 The governor noted that the
 state owned Benue State
 University which, he said has
 remained a centre of
 excellence, would be
 adequately funded and
 boosted with qualified staff
 and students to enhance the
 state’s human capital.
