The Commissioner made this known on Tuesday in Lokoja when the State Chapter of the Association led by the State coordinator Prince. Onuche Zico Isaac paid him a courtesy visit.
The Commissioner who was represented by the Permanent Secretary Dr. Jibrin Saidu Alhaji commended the Association for advocating worthwhile goals that are beneficial to the Society.
He stated that the Policies and Programs of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in Education are designed to take care of the vulnerable in the State, adding that for effective planning and implementation of these policies the Ministry would collaborates with the Association.
According to him, the State Government's free education and free payment of all Internal and External Examinations fees for pupils and students in public schools are targeted at the less privileged in the society who might not have funds to pay for school fees or complete their primary and secondary school Education.
The policies he said may not have achieved the goals for now but would later ensure that the vulnerable in the society have access to quality Basic and Secondary Education.
In his words, "there are saboteurs of the policies but with time, the programs would definitely achieved the aims"
He called on the Association to abreast the Ministry of any information that could lead to the effective planning and implementation of the policies.
Speaking, the Kogi State Coordinator of the Association for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Prince. Onuche Zico Isaac commended the State Governor Alhaji. Ahmed Usman Ododo for implementing policies that are public interest driven and called for a collaboration with the Association to ensure that the Vulnerable in the State benefit maximally from the policies.
