Pupils And Teacher Sit On Bare Floor, Mat In Adamawa School (Photos)

It has been revealed that a secondary school in Adamawa State has become very dilapidated.

The state of Government Secondary School, Federal Housing Estate, Bajabure in the Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State, has become so disheartening that teachers and pupils have to sit on the bare floor or mats.

TrackaNG, who visited the school located in Yola, the state capital, also revealed that the current condition of the building shared by primary and secondary schools for learning is so terrible that primary 3 class has no teacher while there is no furniture for pupils in primary 1 to 5.

Ahmadu Fintiri is the governor of Adamawa. The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President, is also from Adamawa.

It was further revealed that due to the condition of the school, lessons do not hold simultaneously for primary and secondary school pupils. Rather, the primary school does the morning session for pupils while the secondary school does the afternoon session.

On its Twitter page, TrackaNG which attached photos of pupils and teachers sitting on the bare floor during lesson hour, wrote “Pupils and teachers sit on the bare floor and mat Inside the school in Adamawa state capital.
