These are planning estimates for discussion. Final figures require feasibility studies, engineering designs, procurement review and financial modelling.
Mixed funding: public budget, partnerships, project vehicles and private participation where appropriate.
10,000 – 18,000 direct education-sector jobs, plus far larger youth employment pathways through apprenticeships and skills linked to all ESURI projects.
Deliver in phases, publish milestones, and connect local skills to project work.
ESURI’s education policy is to make education free from 0–18, covering early years, primary and secondary education. This gives every child a fair start and removes the fear that poverty will push children out of school.
For university education, ESURI should use a structured student-loan model. Students should be able to access higher education first, then repay gradually after graduation when they are working. This protects opportunity while keeping the system financially sustainable.
Technical, vocational and secondary education will be directly linked to the jobs created by the wider Edo State development programme.
