Chairman of Etsako East Local Government Area, Hon. (Princess) Benedicta Attoh, has reaffirmed her resolve in making primary education across Etsako East Local Government Area attractive to children.
Hon. Attoh stated this Wednesday when she and top political office holders and top management staff of the council paid an unscheduled visit to the school to inspect the extent of readiness of the structure for the pupils to move into the new block of classroom built by the council in replacement of the collapsed block of classrooms due to natural disaster late last year.
She said teaching and learning can only be made attractive when pupils study under an aesthetic environment, noting, “We have the plans to touch as many primary schools that need government intervention but we can’t kickstart all school projects at the same time to avert abandoned projects. We have started and completed this and we shall do the same in other schools while many others would be rehabilitated.”
According to Benjamin Atu, Chief Press Secretary to the chairman, in a press statement, Hon. Attoh, who was in different classes to interact with the pupils during the inspection of the project, assured them that they will resume in their already completed block of classrooms within the next few days.
While thanking the Etsako East Council chairman for keeping to her promise of building a new structure for the community primary school, the Assistant Head Mistress of the school, Ikeghie Agatha, the games master, Pastor Alabi Bayo, and the councilor representing Ward 2, Hon. Hassan Igwemoh, expressed gratitude to the chairman for walking her talk, saying it is rare to see a politician abiding by his/her words in record time.
Present with the chairman during the visit was the secretary to the local government, Hon. Solomon Agbuqui, councilor, supervising councillor, Chief Francis Akpene, head of service of the local government, head of works, among other personal aides of the chairman.
