The infrastructural deterioration noticed in Government Day Secondary School Gwallameji Bauchi has made part of it almost unusable.
Speaking to our correspondent in an exclusive interview, Sanusi Barau Lawal a staff of the school described it’s condition as really outdated and discouraging.
He said, “Actually the condition of the school is really discouraging and as you can see the classes are really outdated, because the ceilings are no longer in good condition, the doors, the windows all are no longer functioning.
“We need the intervention of the government or any person that can help to renovate the school to a standard level.
“ This school was established by the Mal. Isa Yuguda regime and at that time it started with nursery and primary school before it was later upgraded to the level of secondary; the school is really in need of government intervention”, Lawal laments.
He added that since inception, no any contribution or development was brought to the school except renovation of toilet by the administration of Barr. Muazu. A Abubakar.
Our correspondent observed that some of the classes are almost unusable due to lack of windows, good doors and while some are almost without roof- a situation that will affect and prevent students from coming to school during the raining season
Also, another teacher of the school Muhammad Sani Adamu was saddened by the present condition of the school which he said has been so for about 4 years now.
“The school is so much in a mess to the extent that good toilets are not available for students to use, the roofing of the classes are damage and almost all the classes are in bad condition due to lack of windows, doors and other important things’’, he said.
Another student of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa university (ATBU) who is also acquiring Islamic knowledge in the school Ibrahim Danladi Ningi decried that the situation of the school discourage many students from coming to the school.
Apart from other challenges mentioned, Ningi said that, “some of the classes in the school have only five chairs, some ten chairs, while some don’t even have at all.
“It was some corps members in the school that contributed money among themselves to construct some chairs and also repair a part of the section that was in a terrible condition”, he added.
