The Education Specialist UNICEF field office Enugu, Dr Agatha Nzeribe in her remarks disclosed that the programme was targeting about 600 schools in Benue identified to be at more risk while unveiling the programme. The UNICEF education specialist, who commented on minimum standard of operation, said the steering committee would serve as an embodiment of the technical support that would pilot the state action plan for the success of the initiative and commended UNICEF for the choice of Benue to benefit from the programme.
