Challenges

EBSSB has enjoyed tremendous support from the Ebonyi State Governemnt. However, going forward, the board is confronted with numerous challenges as follows:

•  Quality education is capital intensive and therefore requires a collaborative effort of both private and public sectors in providing access of education to the team population of youths in the state.
•  Also sound vehicles are required in order to have effective running around of the boards’ statutory functions.
