The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has reaffirmed its commitment to improving the quality of education and promoting skills acquisition in Taraba State, with plans to expand its Academic Support and Skills Enhancement Programme (ASSEP) across the state.
The commission said the expansion is aimed at strengthening learning outcomes, equipping young people with practical skills and increasing access to quality education as part of broader efforts to support human capital development and post-conflict recovery in the North-East region.
The NEDC noted that the initiative forms part of its mandate to rebuild educational infrastructure, enhance academic performance and empower youths with vocational and entrepreneurial skills capable of improving livelihoods and driving sustainable economic growth in Taraba State.
