Bayelsa State Govt Reacts To Viral Photo Of Secondary School Students Sitting On Bare Floor To Learn

Douye Diri, the governor of Bayelsa State has directed the relocation of the Government Girls’ Secondary School, Kaiama, in the Kolokuma-Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State to a new site and equipment.

The Governor gave the directive after a photo of students of the school sitting on the bare floor to receive lectures, went viral on social media. 

In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Hon. Ayiba Duba, on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, said the Government is not unaware of the condition of the schools, and a complete plan of action is being implemented to revamp them.

According to Ayiba, this explains why the government is committing huge resources to several ongoing renovations and reconstruction of existing schools’ infrastructure and the construction of new ones.

He said the case of the Government Girls’ Secondary School Kaiama is particularly pathetic because the school is susceptible to perennial flooding which often results in damage to facilities and equipment in the school.

The Commissioner said the state government will continue to implement the ongoing reconstruction of infrastructure in a phased and systematic manner within the limit of available resources.

Duba said the public should be aware that government is in the know of the situation of the schools and the challenge it poses to quality learning is been addressed.

He said the state government wishes to assure the Bayelsa Public of its determination to revamp the system and hope that the public understands.
