He urged school principals to support the contractors handling the project, especially in safeguarding the facilities on the ground.

The Executive Secretary further asked contractors to implement the exact quality in the contract agreement to avert cases of building collapse.

“This is just the first phase, when this phase is completed then we can then report to the president and Minister and say we have finished completion of this phase so they can come and complete this project and we will move unto the next phase. So those schools that are not going to benefit from the first phase I want them to be patient after the first phase we will come to them.

“The intervention for the first phase will cover about N47.5bn for the 50 schools,” he said.
