Upon fulfilling the criteria for participation, the State came on board in 2015. However, it (the Project) was formally launched by the State Governor, Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello on May 5, 2017. The Task Team Leader, Dr. Amos Abu represented the World Bank Country Director at the event, and other important dignitaries from far and near were equally in attendance.
