The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) is set to launch the second phase of its educational intervention at the Ekiti Smart School in Ijan-Ekiti.
This development was announced by Prof. Femi Akinwumi, Chairman of the Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), while receiving a delegation from KOICA. The delegation, led by KOICA Deputy Country Director, Mr. Baik Kihyun, conducted an in-depth survey of the Smart School project.
Prof. Akinwumi expressed his delight that the state Smart School would receive additional support from the South Korean Government through KOICA’s second-phase intervention.
He praised the decision, stating it would enhance the school’s capacity and facilitate its reach to rural areas and other parts of the state. Akinwumi reiterated the Governor Oyebanji-led administration’s commitment to implementing education policies aimed at boosting the basic education sector in the state.
The KOICA Deputy Country Director, Mr. Baik Kihyun, commended the Oyebanji-led administration for its commitment to promoting education through innovative policies. He noted that Ekiti State had performed remarkably well among the six pilot states chosen for the project in Nigeria.
The team later visited the SUBEB headquarters in Ado Ekiti, where they commended the government for providing a befitting office complex for the management and staff of the board.
