He said the SBMCs will be directly responsible for spearheading the renovation of their respective schools. “It is your project. You own it,” he said.

The Coordinator explained that funds meant for the renovation project will be made available to all SBMCs through a dedicated bank account.

“The account will be closely monitored to ensure transparency and accountability in both the application and administration of the funds,” he emphasized.

He warned that anyone found embezzling funds meant for the project will be sanctioned accordingly to deter others.
