Vanguard News Don’t scrap UBE counterpart funding On Kindly Share This Story: LEFT to the governors of the 36 states, the counterpart funding arrangement for drawdown of the Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC, fund should be scrapped. This much was evident in the call by the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State when a delegation of the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education led by Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, visited him in Ado-Ekiti recently. Going by Fayemi’s utterances, it would appear that the governors have almost won over President Muhammadu Buhari to their side to convert the UBEC fund into another federal freebie. In fact, in 2014, the governors made fruitless efforts to have the counterpart funding scrapped from the UBEC enabling law.
