ADAMAWA'S EDUCATION/HEALTH REVOLUTION
In what looks like a follow up to the state of emergency declared in the education and health sector by the Adamawa State Government, the state executive council in an extra ordinary executive council session Monday, considered a number of interventions in both sectors and approved some of the contracts aimed at resuscitating the ailing sectors.
The state Governor Senator Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla Bindow said his Government is always ready to match words with action and ensure that critical infrastructure are provided for the benefit of ADAMAWA people.
In the education sector schools that have been outlined to benefit in the first phase are



- Government Secondary School Hong
- Government Science and Technical College MUBI
- Villanova Government Secondary School Numan
- Government Day Secondary School SARAU
- Government Day Secondary School Demsa
The intervention in the education sector also involves the procurement of assorted textbooks for Teachers and Students across secondary schools in the state, purchase of chemicals and reagents for practicals in science schools and other schools where students offer science subjects, provision of beds and beddings which are visibly inadequate and in some instances absent in boarding schools across the state.
There are also several interventions due to commence in Primary and junior secondary schools across the state under the Universal Basic Education Board resulting from the payment of counterpart fund by the state Government.
In the same vein, Governor Bindow reiterated that the teachers salaries is priority and everything is been done to ensure that the backlog of arrears is been paid so as to motivate the teachers and take care of their welfare, these Bindow believe will place education in the state on the right track.
