The Minister said their emergence was a reflection of the high quality of education in FCT schools. The Minister said “I’m extremely proud of your achievements, including the achievement of our numerous students in both public and private schools, who have been able, over the last few years, to get awards and to come up tops in competitions. All these are a reflection of the educational system of the FCT.
The Minister also commented that the overstretched facilities in some FCT schools are as a result of the confidence of the residents of the Territory and even neighbouring states in the FCT educational sector, hence the constant desire to enrol their children in them. While pledging that the Administration will continue to do its best to uphold the standards already established in FCT Schools, he also emphasized on the need for all stakeholders to work together.
Malam Belo said “all we need is to work together and make sure that the quality is maintained and then we at the policy making level will try our very best to ensure that funding and all the needed support is granted within what is feasible and what is possible”.

On the request of the Principal of GSS Kubwa for a new multipurpose hall, the FCT Minister directed that a new hall should be built in the school in time for the students to write the 2022 terminal examinations.
