The Kogi State Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) Project has initiated the distribution of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards to 12,112 adolescent girls who are second-cohort beneficiaries under the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) component. This distribution is taking place across the three senatorial districts of Kogi State and aims to provide financial access to eligible girls, facilitating their education and helping them overcome financial barriers.

Kunle Mumini, the CCT Lead, noted that this second cohort follows a previous initiative that supported 13,359 girls, reinforcing the project's focus on improving girls' access to education.
