Shettima Of Borno Orders Demolition Of Schools Renovated By Federal Govt by Emyo(m): 3:44am On Nov 02, 2013
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state has yesterday ordered the Commissioner for the Universal Education Board (UBE), Professor Abba Tijjani to immediately demolish all the classroom blocks burnt down by Boko Haram insurgents which were later renovated by the federal government in Abbaganaram primary and junior secondary schools, saying that the renovated structures were executed poorly, which according to him, is not accepted by his present government.

Shettima gave the directive when he visited Abbaganaram primary and junior secondary schools where he officially launched the distribution of free exercise books, uniforms and other instructional materials to all primary and post primary schools across the state.

“Honestly, those who were given the contract for renovation of these classroom blocks by the federal government assisted programme did a shady job, and we will not allow our students to continue using such structures, because apart from not conducive for learning, the structures have no ventilation.

“We will release money immediately to demolish and reconstruct new classroom blocks in this school fitted with security lights, fans and other facilities that will make the students feel comfortable when learning”. Shettima stated.

The governor who also took time and went round the classrooms felt impressed with the turn out of pupils and therefore directed the rector, Ramat Polytechnic Maiduguri, Professor, Babagana Umara to supply the school with 2000 furniture out of those provided to the institution.

While taking the governor round the classrooms to see the turnout of students in the school which was closed for almost a year after it was attacked and razed down two times by Boko Haram insurgents, the Commissioner for Universal Basic Education (Board), Professor Abba Tijjani told the governor that since the burning down of school classroom blocks by terrorists which was estimated at over 800 Blocks of Classrooms, the federal government only assisted the ministry with N100 million as intervention fund which was used in renovating some of the schools affected, and thanked the state government for giving approval which led to the total renovation/reconstruction of all the schools affected by the crisis.

Briefing the governor on the problem affecting the schools, the Principal Mallam Suleiman Kashim said, apart from lack of borehole which will provide drinking water to students, furnitur and teaching materials, the school premises is dominated by grasses and waste disposal following its long closure which he said, is not hygienic to the health of the students and staff.

Complete waste of funds. Why didn't you send your commissioner for Education to inspect the renovation while the work was going on. Pulling down a project that gulped N100m .....all in a bid to show that they did sub standard job. Lets think wiser and act smarter. Oga governor, your decision is questionable...

We need to restructure this country for accelerated development. We must restructure the country such that governors such as Shetima will not hope on any national cake shared monthly in Abuja to feed the people of Borno and provide infrastructure in the state. Shetima should be able to generate money internally in his state to sustain the state and pay taxes to Abuja. If that was the case, there will not be any money to WASTE on doing the same project twice by federal and state govt.

You talk as if you don't know the meaning of disappointment.

Nigerian contractors are thieves and rogues. They require close monitoring in order to execute their works genuinely.

How can you be happy with projects you know will collapse in no time?
It is as good as not been there in the 1st place.

Sir, I am not in support of sub-standard work. However,my concern is " why didn't the governor send his aides or commissioners to monitor the project while it was going on." Lets stop encouraging waton abuse of power...all in the name of proving nothing." Please note that they will spend money to pull down the structure and also spend more to erect a new one. Money that they would have channelled to meet other pressing needs in the state. Who is fooling who?

Well we don't have building regulations so who are you supposed to blame NASS because in Nigeria even a rat become a contractor and engineer so that is why we are always going on an isrealite journey.
Re: Shettima Of Borno Orders Demolition Of Schools Renovated By Federal Govt by thirdeye(m): 12:58pm On Nov 02, 2013
Shettima doesn't have to demolish the entire building, there is what they called remodelling,renovation and reinforcing the building. Why are these people so blinded with hatred for GEJ to the extent of hurting themselves?
