This approval, signed on behalf of the Executive Chairman by Emmanuel S.A., Deputy Director of NGOs & Bilateral Relations, marks another important step in expanding values-based education across public schools in the nation’s capital.
Key Highlights:
- Official approval from FCT UBEB to engage students at JSS Lokogoma and JSS Apo
- Focus on sensitizing students about the dangers of corruption
