Niger schools aren't fit for animals, says governor Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello yesterday decried the condition of public schools.
He said they were sub-standard. The governor condemned the poor environmental condition of most public schools when he visited Maryam Babangida Girls Science Secondary School, Bosso, Minna.
He said: "We've visited schools where animals would not like to live in the hostels and dogs wouldn't eat the food being served pupils." Bello said past administrations neglected public schools. He promised to embark on the rehabilitation of the schools. His words:
"It's unfair to blame pupils for failing external or final year examinations when they study in filthy environment and receive sub-standard teaching.
"It is also not right to blame teachers for poor performance without providing them tools to aid teaching." The governor assured pupils and teachers of his administration's determination to provide better learning and teaching conditions.
He however warned teachers not to hide under the present deplorable condition to shirk their duties.
