The Ogun State Government said 20,000 students in tertiary institutions across the country have so far benefited from the ongoing Educash transfer of N50,000 to cushion the current economic crisis. In the same vein, 10,000 indigent pupils in primary and secondary schools across the state have also benefitted from the N10,000 cash transfer.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Abayomi Arigbabu, after monitoring the cash transfer to public primary and secondary schools at the Ogun West Senatorial District on Wednesday. According to the commissioner, by the end of next week, more students would have benefited from the gesture at both the tertiary and secondary/primary levels, even as he promised that all students captured would be paid.

'Today as we have gone out, if I say I have paid 100 people, how will you confirm that. But, the one we have through transfers, you can see it through bank statements and the alerts they receive. 'We want to avoid anything that will make us pay cash. We won't even pay cash, I can assure you.
