Parents and teachers in Community Primary School Owode in Ijako-Ota in Ogun State have lamented about the poor condition of infrastructure in the school.
When newsmen visited the school on Thursday, it was observed that the facilities in the school had become an eyesore with damaged equipment and facilities.
Teachers and parents who spoke with our correspondent claimed that the academic development of the pupils ha been hampered due to a lack of proper and adequate learning facilities.
One of the teachers in the school, Pius, in an interview with our correspondent said, “Owode has over 42 Community Development Associations. As big as this place is, we have just two government schools and they are not properly equipped.
“The two supposedly government schools were built by the community itself. In 2014, the school building collapsed. In time past, the students had their classes on the field without a roof over their heads.
“A Non-Governmental Organisation came from abroad to build the school after the storm from scratch. The NGO found the community via a video on social media showing the disturbed state of the children.”
According to him, the government only built two classrooms for the students while most of the developments in the school were done by private individuals.
