In the Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, the Ogini Primary School in the Obotebe Community is engulfed in weeds and floodwaters.
The present head of the Burutu Local Government Council, Julius Takeme, hails from Obotebe.
A reporter from the Footynaija who was present at the school has reported that nearly every classroom is devoid of desks and chairs due to the numerous blown roofs.
Some worry that the school is also a haven for reptiles.
Assistant Headmaster Okoye Young told our correspondent, “We just managing.”
Since there are only nine educators on staff, according to Young, the school is severely understaffed.
A riverine neighbourhood is the reason why “many teachers do not resume in the area when they’re transferred there,” says Young.
He expressed his dismay at the absence of teacher housing. “The entire compound is inundated. In light of this, we implore the state to assist us in sand-filling the school grounds.
We took a two-week pause due to the flood, he explained.
