The Emir of Ningi, Alhaji Haruna Danyaya, has warned against politicising the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) project in Bauchi State.
Danyaya gave the warning when the AGILE project team, led by its Coordinator, Ali Gar, paid a courtesy visit on him in Ningi local government area of Bauchi state on Tuesday.
He emphasised that education remained paramount and should not be undermined by selfishness and greed.
The Emir pledged to support the project with all his energy, ensuring its successful implementation and monitoring.
Earlier, Hajiya Halima Dimis, Communication Officer of the team, said the AGILE project aimed to improve secondary education opportunities for adolescent girls from ages 10-20,
“The project will address challenges such as socio-cultural and financial constraints, and infrastructural deficits,” she said.
Also speaking, Gar explained that key components of the AGILE project included creating safe and accessible learning spaces such as constructing new classrooms, rehabilitating dilapidated facilities, and providing teaching and learning materials.
