According to the governor who identified four categories of schools in the state as private schools, mission private schools, mission public schools, and public schools, the poor people attend the last category of school, which he explained will be used as a model in school administration and management.

Those affected are pupils in nursery to primary six, and JSS. 1 to 3 students.
