Worried by the deteriorating state of Modern Community Primary School, Rumuodogo, in the Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, residents have called for the immediate intervention of the governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
They also called on Nigeria Social Media Influencer, Mr Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, to save the school from collapsing completely.
The dismayed residents also tasked the state ministry of education, the post primary schools board, Mr Sam Ogeh, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule, on the rehabilitation of the school.
The residents expressed worry that despite the plea for rehabilitation of the school made to the local government chairman, Dr. Chidi Lloyd, the school have remained in comatose.
Mr Ezekweru Harcourt Osimiri, in a post on Tuesday, expressed worry that the children were learning under unsafe environment.
Osimiri said, “Rumuodogo community is in ward 14 in Emohua LGA of Rivers state. It’s one of the communities that makes up the ward, with a huge voting Strength, abundance resources both in human and natural resources, contributing significantly to the economic growth and potentials of LGA.
“Rumuodogo community is 10 minutes away drive to access the LGA headquarters at Rumuakunda Emohua. Also, Rumuodogo community is easily accessible, as it has a very wide linkage to the federal East-West Road.
“Unfortunately, the state of the modern community primary school, where the supposed futures of tomorrow learn from. In our conscience of conscience, if we are still humans and humanity still resonates in our thoughts, is this place habitable enough to raise cows, goats, Rabbits and chickens?
“Interestingly, this is where our children learn from day to day. The attention of the local government chairman, Hon. Barr. Chidi Lloyd Dr. Chidi Lloyd. has severally been called to this, but in his usual Manner, he has neither visited nor done anything about it.
“This same local government chairman, donated sets of computers to a private school owned my an individual big man from Emohua, yet he sees no need to address a burning issue as delicate as this completely dilapidated nature of the learning environment of this community school.”
“I wonder what Chidi Lloyd will tell the people of Rumuodogo to have done to him personally, which should warrant this level of premeditated neglected and hatred. But my consolation is hinged on the facts that, nothing last forever, not even lives that are created by God himself.
“Chidi Lloyd will come and go, Rumuodogo will continue to exist. We are not even expecting him to do anything about this. Rumuodogo shall continue to wax very strange, to the staggering of her enemies.”
