The Permanent Secretary in charge of the Agency for Adult and Non-Formal Education (NFE) in Delta State, Mr. Alexander Ukubeyinje has called on Local Government Councils in the state to complement the state governments’ effort in reducing Adult illiteracy through the establishment of Adult literacy and vocational centres.
Mr. Ukubeyinje made the call when he led members of the Agency on an Advocacy/sensitization visit to Ethiope West, Sapele and Okpe Local Government Areas.
According to the Permanent Secretary, it is necessary for all hands to be on deck in order to reduce the level of Adult illiteracy in Nigeria, which he described as a United Nation Policy.
Mr. Ukubeyinje however commended the HPM of Okpe local government council for the council’s contributions to NFE programme in the council.
While enjoining them to give priority attention to the programme, he tasked them to establish organic integrated centre in the area, saying that the Youth Corpers could be used to run the centres.
The PS charged the council to intensify efforts towards reducing illiteracy level in the state, saying that it should establish as many literacy and vocational centres in the area.
