Government Secondary School Agbaja under Lokoja Local Government area of Kogi State was established in 1975 when Kogi State was still under old Kwara.

DAILY POST reports that the school, which has a huge land mask with infrastructures, is now a shadow of itself. The school infrastructure is currently in a dilapidated form as it has little or no government presence.

It was gathered that the environment of the school is not habitable for learning hence members of staff deployed to the school either for teaching or non-teaching fail to stay as they abscond to Lokoja, the Kogi State capital or go as far as working out their way out of the school for another place of work.

“Many Teachers have been posted to this community. Whenever they come here, see the community, they will run away. This has become a recurring trend. None of them is willing to stay. Virtually 98 percent of them will work their way back to Lokoja or prefer to work somewhere else.

“This has really affected the development of the Agbaja community educationally and many more. We have complained severally to the constituted authority, but it has all fallen on deaf ears,” an indigene of Agbaja Community, Adoga said.

The bad road network from Lokoja, the Kogi State Capital, to Agbaja is one of the biggest challenges why the school remains a living nightmare.

DAILY POST gathered that from JSS 1 to SS3, Government Secondary School Agbaja has only four teaching staff and two non-teaching staff.

DAILY POST went underground to get the monthly staff disposition of Government Secondary School Agbaja as issued by the Kogi State Science, technical education and teaching service Commission.

This confirmed our investigation that only four teaching staff are in the school. The four teaching staff are Mohammed Kasim Adoga, BA English Language employed on 1st March 1991 and is expected to retire on 1st march 2026. He currently teaches English in Government Secondary School Agbaja. Emmanuel Paul Ohiemi, Bachelor of Art English Language, appointed on January 1st 2009, expected to retire on 1st January 1946 and he also teaches English language based on what was written in their monthly disposition. Olushola Titilayo, NCE, appointed on January 1st 2009, expected to retire on 1st January 1946, teaches Biology. Oshatemehin Samson Dare, NCE, appointed on January 1st 2009, expected to retire on 1st January 1946, teaches agricultural science in the school.




The two non-teaching staff are Abraham Juliana, SSCE, appointed on 5th March 2002, expected to retire on 5th March 2037 and she is the school storekeeper, while Yakubu Idris Babatunde, SSCE, appointed on 9th August, 1999, is expected to retire on 9th August 2034. He works in the school admin.

It was gathered that two of the teaching staff are in charge of English language from JSS1—SS3, while another teacher is in charge of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and many other subjects, which according to our investigation has contributed negatively to the performance of students from the school both in internal and external examination.

Despite offering both science and art courses without functional laboratories for practicals, it was learnt that over 50 students sat for the 2022 West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination and National Examination Council, (NECO).

The principal of Government Secondary School Agbaja, Mohammed Kasim Adoga confirmed media investigation that the school has just four teachers from JSS1 to SS3.

Explaining further ,the Principal said, “It is only four teachers that are teaching all subjects from JSS 1 to SS3 in Government Secondary School Agbaja. That is the situation we find ourselves in, both science and art courses. It is not only peculiar with GSS Agbaja. There are other schools in Kogi State that have two or three teachers from JSS 1 to SS3. There was a time we asked for intervention.

“The truth is that if you ask teachers to cross to secondary school and teach and their salary is not forthcoming, it will be very difficult for them to come. In Kogi generally, there is a serious shortage of teachers. There was a time the federal government deployed Npower students to our school, unfortunately, from Lokoja, the office did it and they all went away”.

DAILY POST spoke to an educationist, Dr Stella Kadiri who revealed that it will be a miracle for students of the Government Secondary School to perform excellently, especially during external examination such as WAEC and NECO, putting into cognizance that there is shortage of teachers and other deficiency associated with the school.

“The Government is just playing games with the future of these students. How on earth will four teachers be teaching a whole Secondary School from JSS 1 to SS3 both science and art courses? How will they cope? Let us assume that they are taking four subjects in each class, mathematically it is not realistic. Have they considered the outcome of this child’s future? I am dreaming. This can’t be true,” she said

The educationist, however, called on the government to do the needful as a bad foundation might destroy the future of the students graduating from Government Secondary School Agbaja.

Aside from the shortage of teachers in the school, the structures are all in a dilapidated form despite graduating prominent personalities in Lokoja Local Government.

The community is, however, appealing to the government to come to their aid as the standard of education in Agbaja has continued to fall on a daily basis due to the shortage of teachers, lack of infrastructure and other challenges confronting the growth of the school.

One Ibrahim from Agbaja community said, “The remaining building you are seeing now was done through community effort because it has been abandoned by the Government. We just have to intensify our efforts to see that our children do not sit at home. This school has graduated many prominent individuals.

“The current Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement Kogi State graduated from this School. Treasurer Lokoja Local Government, DPN Lokoja Local Government, DLG Lokoja Local Government, to mention but a few are products of this school. They are all aware of the bad state of the school”.

All efforts to speak with the chairperson, Kogi State Science, Technical Education and Teaching Service Commission, Cecilia Cook proved abortive as of the time of filing this report. She neither picked her calls nor responded to text messages sent to her phone lines.

Meanwhile, the Kogi State Government says it has planned to employ 3,979 teachers across the State.

Commissioner for Education, Honourable Wemi Jones, disclosed this to journalists on Tuesday after a tour of education facilities at the newly constricted ultra modern GYB Model Science Secondary School, Adankolo in Lokoja.

He disclosed that the model science schools are scattered across the State and when completed will be some of the legacy edifices of the Yahaya Bello administration.

In Kogi, the levels of sheer wickedness of ruling class is presently enormous. Honorable without honour!

I thought FG had agreement with them, failed to honour it, and now still toying with everyone concerned interest.

BeardedMeat:
Op take heart. Yeye Bello Is just a boy.

See what octogenarian city boy did to Lagos this season.

Too bad..men!

I weak for this honourables without honour o.

Corruption is prevalent in Nigeria, no gainsaying about that! But nonetheless it more glaring in some state than others.

Kogi State, since inception has suffered bad governance, acute ineptitude, lackadaisical neglect of even the most basic amenities by the government.

Just recently, there was a thread here on nairaland about "the most dirtiest state capital in Nigeria". And many if not majority 'voted' Lokoja. Whether that assessment is correct or not, Kogi-Lokoja to me is like a state that if you are in, you will feel like you are in the 80s.

Now! You may wonder, if the capital, that is the center of administration in the state could be so dirty and disorganised, how will the other local governments be or look like?

Fela once said, "suffering and smiling". Well, that phrase is taken to whole level in kogi. It's in this state, Lokoja precisely, you will find bad roads, very poor infrastructural and human development, no portable water to drink even though the city sit very close to the river Niger that all that is needed is just treat and pump water to homes yet government couldn't handle that. Well, at least the flood now has given, in excess, water to people's home, mine included (smiles).

After 2012 flood that flooded the roads, a contract was awarded to avert future occurrence but, as usual the project was badly done and probably bigger chunk of the funds stolen. See! Kogi is one state that meaningful project is hardly ever done, and when any one is ever considered to be carried out, it's usually awarded to incompetent contractors - the ones you would termed 'wheelbarrow and shovel contractors'. I even saw them using 6 inches block to build pillers that will control flood, can you imagine!

The present government is repairing some few roads in the metropolis and constructed some even fewer once but, almost all were badly done. Every government that has ever govern in the state, might want to argue that, they tried in their own way. Correct or not, just mere trying is not enough and it's not what will move the state forward, we want a government that will bring on their best as in line with global best practices. Common people! This is 2022 not 1011.

There is alot wrong with that state, in terms of governance but I can't pen down all at once so, chip in yours in the comments.

Despite the plague of bad leadership, ordinary Kogites are peace loving people and hospitable.

God bless Kogi State,
God bless Nigeria!

Some people's PPA when downloaded, comes out blanck, why many here still haven't been deployed.

I am Muslim, I believe in God and His messenger: Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him). I came across this deep lecture and one of the first things that came to my mind after watching it, was to share it with ny nairalanders brethrens.

The qur'an states: "And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good".

Of course they are. You can't call yourself a media and suppress the news from a particular Country, ethnicity or nation.

This event have shown to the world that Capitalist countries end up being a field of imperialists, Racial supremacists and War profiteers.

Until Western media take responsibility for the scores of innocent Ignorant young men and women they influenced to their death, they remain a terrorist syndicate.

A country (Ukraine) banned the entire opposition parties numbering in tens and the so called media of Western, Capitalist and Racial supremacy origin didn't care to make a fuss about it but systematically brainwashed the BLACK IGNORAMUSES of Africa that Gaddafi was a dictator because he wanted to pull the black people out of poverty, rigged economic society like IMF that doesn't favour the black man and usher a degree of state economic transparency in Africa

Wished i can like ur comment a million times

So because the west have not been paying attention to Russia demands, is that why Putin have to punish innocent Ukrainians?

When Turkey bombed Russia jet in Syria, Russia couldn't even fight back apart from placing sanctions on Turkey.

Russia could have attacked Turkey and face the wrath if NATO

Your talk of punishment, I think the one punishing Ukrainians are their own leadership because all this, is avoidable but, no! They rather fight Russia than to maintain a neutral status.

So, you think your close neighbour forming an allegiance with your enemy is not a provocation even after several persuasion not to do so.

Did you even watch the clip? Or several others before now, where this man has been trying to highlight thier security concerns and means to achieving a peaceful resolutions and relationship but, was blantantly ignored and lastly pushed to wall?

I am in no way in support of violence but every man reserves an unconditional and conscious rights to protect himself.
