Professor Abayomi Arigbabu, the commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, highlighted that the cash award is part of Governor Abiodun’s strategy to alleviate the economic hardship faced by parents in the country.
Regarding the selection process for the beneficiaries, Arigbabu explained that teachers and principals were tasked with identifying the financially disadvantaged students as they are in direct contact with them.

“He believes that another strategy that could be used which has never been used by any government before is the health and education sectors to reach the populace. Through the education sector, you can truly reach out to those who need the palliative.
“We have over 2, 000 primary and secondary schools in all the four divisions of the state, and 100,000 learners in these schools would receive N10,00 each.”
