The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike on Tuesday, directed the upgrading of the Government Secondary School, Kabusa, Apo area of Abuja. During inspection Wike said the school was below the acceptable standard. The minister gave this directive during a flag off of construction of 9.8 kilometre Kabusa – Takushara access road in Apo, Abuja. While decrying the present position of the Government school he directed the procurement department to immediately commence the process of upgrading the school to the required standard.
The project is a laudable projective to ensure that students in Kabusa area of the FCT read in a conducive environment. The project will go a long way to improve their quality of learning as this is one of the agenda of Mr President in providing sound education infrastructure that is being enhanced.
Education development is one of the key areas of transforming the human and economic sector, which the administration of Wike emphasis in order to reduce the growing number of out or school children in FCT and its environs.
Speaking on the Kabusa – Takushara access road construction the Minister stressed that construction of roads in communities was part of the promises President Bola Tinubu made to the Nigerian people.
According to him, better roads will help in curbing insecurity across the territory, and provide route for farmers to bring out their produce to the market.
Wike said, “The government is committed to fulfilling its promises, and one of those promises is to construct roads and provide streetlights in rural areas. I assure you that this project will be completed within six to seven months.
” I will not accept this school in its current state. I will not accept this as a place for our children to receive quality education. We must upgrade this school immediately so that it can provide the education our children deserve.
” I’m sure that if Mr. President were to visit this school, he would be disappointed. Our children are learning in difficult conditions, and it’s our responsibility to provide them with a better environment.
“We must put this school back on track. We owe it to our children to provide them with the best possible education”
The minister vowed to continue with the provision of necessary infrastructure that will always remind the people of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda initiative.
