The management of Government Secondary School in Jeda, Kuje Area, Abuja, has transformed the school’s health center into classrooms.
According to school management, this was due to a lack of classrooms.
The management’s inventiveness was on display on Thursday, when the Centre’s facilitator, Sen. Philip Aduda, reviewed the project and others in the Kuje and Gwagwalada areas.
Mr Mohammed Tanko, the school’s principal, explained that the improvisation was necessary due to a lack of classrooms for students.
The action, he explained, was in line with the saying that “necessity is the mother of invention.”
Tanko said, “The management, staff and students of GSS Jedda are extremely grateful for the intervention projects facilitated to the school like the block of six classrooms nearing completion.
“Others are the already completed Primary Health Care Centre which is being temporarily used as classrooms.
“The conversion of the health care centre into classrooms for now, is temporary pending the completion of a block of six classrooms project.
“Practically, apart from classrooms carved out from the health centre, temporary offices for principal, vice principal are also being carved out.
“This, to a great extent, kept the school going as far as academic activities are concerned,pending the time appropriate authorities provide the required infrastructure.
“We are also very grateful for the provision of borehole which has been the main source of water supply for the school.”
