Minister of State for Education, Mr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has declared that the Federal Government will transparently implement the report of the Ministerial Committee on Strengthening Mathematics and Science Education (SMASE), in the country.

In his remarks, committee chairman, Dr. Ladan Sharehu, said the development of Science and Mathematics Education was vital to national development. He appealed to the Minister of State for Education to use his good offices to drive the programme.
