Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, yesterday presented a budget estimate of N396,589, 00,620 to the state House of Assembly.

Education sector takes  N70,143, 386,000 followed by health with N39,012,563,000.

Presenting the estimates christened: “Budget of Economic and Social Development”, Nwifuru expressed hope that the budget estimates would guarantee industrialisation, stimulate economic growth and improve standard of living in the state.

He noted that his administration believes that educational training should be repositioned to guarantee entrepreneurial knowledge and the acquisition of skills for economic self-reliance at all levels.

“Pursuant to this, therefore, we have introduced many reforms in the curriculum of the basic and secondary education sector to emphasise technology and science.

“To give credence to this, our administration has set out to rejig teaching and learning in public schools through employment of teachers with bias in technology and entrepreneurial education,” he said.
