A delegation from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has arrived in the state to kick-start the establishment of facilities that will promote STEM education and skills development in public schools.

Led by SUBEB Executive Chairman, Dr. Grace Adagba, the team paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner for Education and Knowledge Management, Dr. Margaret Ijaguwa Adamu, to brief her on their mission.

JICA Consultant Kenji Kawazoe, alongside a team of architects, said they were in the state to conduct environmental assessments of selected schools for appropriate facility design.
