The Chairman of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Prof. Femi Akinwumi, yesterday disclosed that the state government had paid the sum of N7.3 billion as counterpart funding to Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) for the execution of projects in public primary and secondary schools in the last two years.
The chairman made the disclosure in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, while briefing journalists on the activities of the body and its strides to improve basic education in the state.
Akinwumi stated that the state Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, decided to pay such amount of money owing to priority placed on basic education as well as his determination to turn around the state education sector.
