UBEC Counterpart Funding: Nasarawa up to date, says Governor Sule
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, says his administration worked hard to ensure that the State paid its counterpart funding to the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEC) up to 2023.
He explained that the development is to enable the government execute projects aimed at uplifting the quality and standard of education in the State.
The Governor Sule spoke when he met his political appointees at the Government House on Thursday.
According to him, his administration in its determination to implement the recommendations of the committee that carried out the baseline survey of public schools, worked hard to not only settle the outstanding liabilities but paid the UBEC counterpart fund up till 2023.
“We are paying because we know we need the money for us to be able to execute the responsibilities that we have assigned.
“If you remember, we set up a baseline survey team that told us the conditions of our schools.
“And that is the reason we are going overboard to ensure that we have resources to do that.
“It’s not because we have too much money than other states but because we have more challenges than other States.
“That is why we are going over the board to ensure that we get money to do this,” he said.
Sule also charged his political appointees on loyalty and team work towards ensuring that the administration succeeds.
The Governor warned that he would not hesitate to sanction any appointee whose loyalty becomes doubtful, stressing that he would no longer tolerate acts of disloyalty to his administration.
“We have done the best to look the other side and to look away during the difficult time of the election and election crisis.
“I want to tell you without any ambiguity that we will not entertain disloyalty to this government” he said.
