Posted by A cultural organization called Afo Youth Mobility is very worried about the situation of the LGEA Primary School in the Agam neighborhood of Nasarawa Local Government Area (LGA), Nasarawa situation.
In a statement released on Monday, group chairman Barrister Dauda Kana voiced his concern, saying that the poor condition of the school is causing many students to drop out.
“The state of the elementary school’s facilities is quite upsetting. The classrooms are in terrible condition, with broken walls, broken windows, and leaky roofs (or no roofs at all in some cases). The current situation makes education extremely difficult, he said.
The Chairman has stated that the lack of basic facilities, such as potable water and restrooms, at the school is deterring pupils from enrolling there.
There is a severe deficiency of basic services at the school, including potable water and restrooms. The lack of these facilities has contributed to the already dismal situation, keeping pupils at home.
“There are not enough supplies at the elementary school level. There is a severe lack of textbooks, instructional resources, and essential classroom furnishings. This is a major roadblock due to a shortage of available resources.
The effects on our students are the most upsetting part of our evaluation. Many of them have been forced to abandon their schooling because of the appalling conditions, he lamented, leaving their hopes dashed and their potential unrealized.
The group argued that elementary schooling is the foundation for further education, thus they urged everyone involved to work together and act quickly to save the kids’ future.
