The World Bank, Adolescent  Girls Initiative and Empowerment (AGILE) is set to help Kaduna State build 90 Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), 69 Senior Secondary Schools (SSS), besides renovating 69 others.

Mr. Habibu Alhassan, the AGILE Project Coordinator, Kaduna State, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.

Alhassan stated that the five –year project was designed to help ensure that the girl child, aged ten to twenty years was enrolled, retained and supported to complete senior secondary school education.

“The construction of the new schools and the renovations of existing ones was geared towards creating additional learning space and make available spaces conducive and comfortable for the girl-child to learn”, he said.

Moreover, he explained that the project would in addition provide a form of a scholarship to support girls that were prevented from attending schools due to hawking and other commercial activities at home.  Hence, making it possible for  parents to allow such girls enroll in school, remain in school, complete secondary school education, and become useful to themselves, their family, and community.

“Although the goal was to improve secondary education opportunities among girls, the boy child would equally benefit from the project.

“We are still at the preparatory stage. The work plan has been developed and undergoing review, while the Project Implementation Manual is being developed by the National Head Office.

“Project Appraisal and other relevant documents had also been developed. We have just finished going around the three senatorial zones of the state to get the buy-in of critical stakeholders and domesticate the National School-Based Management Committees Manual”, he said.

The Project Coordinator also explained that the state government has fulfilled all the required conditions to participate in the project.

“One of the conditions was the state government’s commitment to recruit teachers that will teach in the newly constructed schools. You may be aware that the state government is currently concluding recruitment exercise of 7,600 qualified secondary school teachers, more than the about 2,000 teachers required by the AGILE project.

“The state government has also committed to paying any compensation that may arise due to the expansion of school spaces and has also provided office space for the Project Implementation Unit.

Gov. Nasir el-Rufai has also allocated N47million in the 2021 budget to ensure the smooth take-off of the project”, he added.

NAN reports that the sum of 500 million dollar’s project (N190billion) will be used to support access to secondary education and empowerment for adolescent girls in seven states namely Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Borno, Plateau and Ekiti.

Shubham Chaudhuri, the World Bank Country Director for Nigeria had earlier in 2020 explained that the AGILE project would use the secondary school as a platform to empower girls through education, life skills, health, and education.

Chaudhuri added that other areas would include nutrition, reproductive health, gender-based violence awareness and prevetion, negotiations skills, self-agency and digital literacy skills.

“Specifically, the project will benefit about 6.7million adolescents and 15.5million direct project beneficiaries which will include families and communities in participating states. The project entails building more than 5,500 JSS and 3,300 classrooms for SSS as well as improving 2,786 JSS and 1,914 SSS with safe, accessible, and inclusive infrastructure.

“About 3,400 girls will receive life skills training in safe spaces, which will help them navigate challenges in life. This will incorporate health and key information on climate change, safety, and gender-based violence awareness. To help girls thrive in the digital economy, 300,000 girls will receive literacy training and offer half a million girls from the poorest households’ financial incentives to support their retention and completion of secondary school”, he said.
