The Enugu State government has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating the sex-for-grade menace in its tertiary institutions, warning that any offender, regardless of their position, will face severe consequences.

The Enugu State Government has expressed growing concern over the alarming increase in unauthorized and substandard schools cropping up across the state. In line with the Education Law, specifically Part VI Section 49 subsection 2 and Section 53 subsection (1)(a) and (b), it is an offence to establish and operate a school without first obtaining evaluation and approval from the Ministry of Education.

As one of the six states selected for this phase in Nigeria, Enugu's remarkable strides in transforming education are gaining national attention. Prof. Mbah expressed the state's readiness to embrace this opportunity, stating, "We are eager to openly share our challenges and collaborate to implement sustainable solutions." The Project focuses keenly on Basic education reform, Teacher recruitment, retention, and motivation, as well as National Teacher Education Policy Reform (NTEP) to enhance teaching outcomes.
