On July 28, the Nasarawa State Government, in collaboration with the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) Project, launched the disbursement of School Improvement Grants to 490 secondary schools. This initiative aims to enhance access to quality education and promote gender equality in education.
A total of ₦150 million in counterpart funding has been released by the state. This financial support underlines Nasarawa’s commitment to breaking barriers that prevent girls from accessing and completing school, while also encouraging long-term investment in their development.
Speaking during the official flag-off in Lafia, Governor Abdullahi Sule emphasized, “girl-child education has come to stay,” and described AGILE as “a catalytic platform for addressing access, retention, and quality across the education value chain.”
The AGILE Project focuses on improving school infrastructure and learning conditions, especially for adolescent girls.
This move reflects strong collaboration between federal and state stakeholders, all aligned toward one goal—ensuring every girl, regardless of her background, gets the chance to learn, thrive, and contribute to national growth.
