The World Bank has approved an additional $700 million for Nigeria to expand its Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) programme in 18 states.
The global organisation announced this Thursday through a publication on its official website, noting that the additional financing will scale up project activities from the current seven states to 11 other states.
It added that the funding is meant to increase the targeted beneficiaries to include out-of-school girls, those who are married, and those who have disabilities.
