Fuel subsidy: Taraba gov Kefas declares free education

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has declared primary and Secondary School education free in the State.

Kefas made the declaration on Friday, 7 July at the Ebenezer Primary School in Wukari.

According to the governor starting from the next academic session, primary and secondary education in Taraba State will be free.

He stressed that it is the government’s responsibility to bear the expenses and that students should not be subjected to any fees.

Also, he stated that apart from fulfilling a campaign promise, the hardship occasioned by the removal of the fuel subsidy has made the move imperative.

Earlier the governor had cut down the state university tuition fees by 50 per cent to cushion the current hardship in the country.
