In a distressing situation highlighted by the civic technology platform Monitng, over 197 pupils at Ughievwen Primary School in Otor-Ughievwen, Delta State, are forced to sit on bare floors due to inadequate facilities. This alarming condition significantly impacts the students' educational experience, raising concerns among parents and community members.
Monitng reports that the oil-producing community is grappling with severe infrastructural deficits, prompting residents to call for immediate intervention from Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's administration. The lack of basic amenities not only hinders the learning process but also poses substantial risks to the students' well-being and safety.
"We urge the Delta State Government to kindly intervene," Monitng stated, emphasizing the urgent need for improvements in the school's facilities. The organization’s report reflects a broader issue of inadequate educational infrastructure affecting schools across Nigeria.
In a related development, retired local government workers and public primary school teachers in Delta State have also raised alarms over alleged fraudulent deductions from their gratuities, with each pensioner reportedly losing between N2 million and N8 million. They have called on Governor Oborevwori to investigate the matter and take corrective action.
The pressing issues at Ughievwen Primary School and the grievances of retired workers underscore the urgent need for governmental accountability and transparency in addressing infrastructural challenges in Delta State.
