Furthermore, Governor Mbah’s administration has made significant strides in human development. Scholarships have been awarded to deserving students and citizens, fostering educational advancement. The construction of smart schools across the state’s 260 wards aims to shift from traditional chalk-and-board methods to modern ICT-based education, preparing a generation of tech-competent individuals.
