THE State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare has appealed to the elders and community leaders at Imodje-Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area to check the encroachment of land speculators into Imodje Grammar School.
Prof. Muoboghare made the appeal in the town when he visited the school and discovered that parts of the school land were being unlawfully taken over by some indigenes.
He said that the act was unacceptable and therefore appealed to the community to help the Ministry safeguard the school’s land, stressing that if this was not nipped in the bud, the entire school land would be taken over.
At Ekure Primary School, Imodje, the Commissioner assured the people that the Ministry would soon embark on the total rehabilitation of the two blocks of classrooms in the school.
In their presentation, the community school committee chairman, Emmanuel Onovwakpor called on the Commissioner to use his good office to post more teachers to the primary school, especially Chemistry, Physics and English Language teachers.
Before departing the primary school premises, Prof. Muoboghare engaged the primary six pupils who were there preparing for their Placement Examination in a mathematical quiz that lasted for over 30 minutes
