When primary school looks more of dumping ground by Olusegun Ariyo



                                                                                

Weather we believe it or not, education remain the bedrock of true national development. It is actually the pivot upon which the development of any nation hinges. The physical observation of fauzia  Omar Amadia primary school in okokomaiko popularly known as [FOA]  situated  adjacent iba local planning authority along badagry expressway, remains very pressing were the situation needs an urgent attention from the regulatory body.



 In an attempt to call those in the authority for their own side of the views relating to this ugly situation proved abortive. The larger community that the school is serving are yearning for help, the situation as observed has degenerated to breach of security were their home is no more safe with the fear of the unknown in the neighborhood.


 Worse still, is the existing situation of the building, almost all structures are not up in standard, allowing miscreant to take advantage of where to have a temporary accommodation to perpetuate crime and follow execution processes. checks  reveal that the place of excretion is not properly managed, giving those criminal  an edge to take undue opportunity in a wrong direction, damaging the latrine that is  even not well take care of by those saddled with such responsibility, This is a school that serve a larger community with a considerable population that patronize it. One wonder if there isn’t any government in place.



 The situation as is of serious concern to the people. The security risk is signaling toward bad direction which justifies the need to sound the alarm hence it’s remaining utmost interest to her people. When conducting trumpet-day online reporter round, physical observation of  some of the classrooms are In the open, where the fence usually are meant to be there  to serve as cover but the situation hear shows that some part are dilapidated while some are already at edge of failing. A residence, Mr. salau noted that without formidable intellectual base, it is not likely that any society would move forward. The above statement is what all Nigerians should bear in mind  as it clearly tells us that we should embrace education as it is the only way by which we can get out of the various problems facing our people in the suburb areas. Therefore various levels of government should not neglect this stated facts, the leaders in that location do not seem to want to listen... it is quite proper that the government should pay a listen ear to the crying masses over the state of living condition of their ward in government own school too. This is necessary because the socio-political and economic development of any nation and her health are, in many ways, determined by the quality of the standard education and environmental attainment of its population. Politics should be taken out of education at grassroots level, since it’s pedagogical to national development.


 The youth should be given the appropriate quality of academic training and an environment that would enable it  reach their full potential. This would take care of the odious situation noted. Reports on unicef indicate that only majority of those that are lucky to enter school are those that is given sub-standard education. Maintenance culture should be path and parcel of academic institution life in Nigeria, were public and private schools will be able to stand in competitiveness without larger dichotomy. Renovation of school should be carried out on a regular basis; this should prevent class room from collapsing before they are reorganizing as part of the school building.



 In addition to prevent unscrupulous person in the premises as reported in this present case were the communities are clamoring for quick intervention from the appropriate quarters.  Report reveal that united nation recommendation for developing countries that 26% of her annual budget be voted to education for development still remains a task to be meet. It indicate that since the recommendation was made by the UN, Nigerians annual budget allocation to education has never reached 19% and that its only exceeded 10% for about four times between 1995 and 2009.
