The Management of Government Secondary School in Jeda, Kuje Area, Abuja, has explained why it converted the health centre to classrooms facilities.
According to The PUNCH, the Principal of the School, Mr Mohammed Tanko, stated that the action was as a result of the shortage of classrooms for students.
Tanko said, “The management, staff and students of GSS Jedda are extremely grateful for the intervention projects facilitated to the school like the block of six classrooms nearing completion.
“Others are the already completed Primary Health Care Centre which is being temporarily used as classrooms.
“The conversion of the health care centre into classrooms for now, is temporary pending the completion of a block of six classrooms project.
“Practically, apart from classrooms carved out from the health centre, temporary offices for principal, vice principal are also being carved out.
“This, to a great extent, kept the school going as far as academic activities are concerned,pending the time appropriate authorities provide the required infrastructure.
” We are also very grateful for the provision of borehole which has been the main source of water supply for the school.”
