“The educational sector is one of those severely impacted by the pandemic, with schools and vocational learning-centres shut since March.

"With access to funding for privately owned schools and vocational training centres in the state, we are confident that this programme, under the partnership between @FirstBankngr and @LSETF will help accelerate a sustainable return to learning and skills acquisition.

"The facility will benefit 2000 low-cost schools with amounts ranging from N500,000 to N5million.

"As a responsible Government, we are obligated to provide interventions that would enable learners in schools study in line with the new normal."
