A visit to the school on Thursday by SaharaReporters showed that the students who were in their teens were arranged under a makeshift structure built from wood.
The pupils of the LEA primary school in the Bagusa, Dei Dei community in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have been seen learning under a fallen roof because of lack of classrooms.
A visit to the school on Thursday by SaharaReporters showed that the students who were in their teens were arranged under a makeshift structure built from wood.
The roof of the structure has fallen, exposing the pupil to the scorching sun that afflicts them while studying.
In February, SaharaReporters had also reported how 92 pupils attending the LEA Primary School, Etsu Dagba, Dobi Ward, Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT, Abuja were captured on camera learning under the tree.
This was seen in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Monitng which revealed how the pupils were struggling to acquire education under the shade of a tree because of absence of classroom.
Reacting, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) under the FCT minister, Nyseom Wike, had visited the school and ordered the headmaster to merge two classes in a room.
A source familiar with the incident had told SaharaReporters that the education secretary of the Gwagwalada local council area arrived at the school and asked the teachers to combine the classes to cover up the lack of infrastructure in the school, regardless of whether this would result in overcrowding.
