Students of the Agbor Technical College, in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State have raised the alarm over a gully erosion threatening to swallow the college.
The students in video sent to SaharaReporters on Thursday, decried that if nothing urgent is done before the rain starts, the school blocks and entire perimeter fence would be swallowed.
In the video, SaharaReporters observed that the only thing separating the walls of the college from the 10 meter deep gully erosion is just less than three meters earth which serves as an access road to nearby community.
Also the basements of about five houses were almost washed away, as residents said if urgent measures were not taken before rain fully started, the houses would be long gone.
One of the students in the videos sent to SaharaReporters said, "You can see, the canal is already expanding to the wall of the school. Look at the wall of AgborTech, look at the canal.
"We are just waiting for the rainy season, once the rain starts, this road will be closed; even the wall of the AgborTech will fall into the canal. So we are calling on the government to help us out to fix this canal."
In another video, the a student voice was overheard saying "The people of this community are calling on the Delta State government to come and help them. You can see this house, the foundation of the house is already inside the gully.
"What we are looking for now is how the Delta State government and the federal government will come to help us out of this situation. This is already a disaster, all the houses are already inside this canal and what we need now is a solution. We need everybody to help us."
