[2] Class sizes in all primary and secondary schools across Edo State will never exceed 30

[3] There must be at least 10 primary schools in each of the 18 local government areas that make up Edo State

[4] There must be at least five secondary schools in each of the 18 local government areas that make up Edo State

Do you know that Nigeria is the world’s number one producer of the West African Dwarf goat but alas, we make nothing from it in terms of export revenue

Ayo Akinfe
