Gov Aliyu Weeps Over Dilapidated Infrastructure In Public Schools In The State

[Shola Sholaz]

He must have acted on a tip-off- and he acted swifty on the information provided. The information led to an unscheduled visit of Niger state governor Dr. Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu to some state owned primary Schools few months ago.
.
The story was almost the same in most of the public schools he visited in Chanchaga Local Government area which is within Minna, the state capital- dilapidated nature of the building and with some pupils receiving classes on bare floor.
.
As if he has not seen the worst, the governor and his entourage comprising most of his cabinet members were stunned at another public school in Minna the state capital where the entire building was dilapidated which could easily be described as an eye sore especially since it is within Minna, the state capital.
.
Governor Aliyu could not hold his emotion as he shed tears over what he saw. Part of the numerous questions he asked were as follows- where are the funds allocated to these schools going to; what explanation could be given for these rot; if these type of buildings are at my door step (Minna), then what happens to schools in the rural areas? Something must be done to arrest the situation, the governor remarked.

Weeping won't solve a thing.
Actions should be taken.
Quickly!

Public schools are just not up to standard anymore. They've dropped in quality big time and that is bad news.
