Management of the Special School Bauchi has appealed to the government to build more classes and hostels in the school.
It said that would help in decongesting the classrooms and hostels and control the spread of diseases.
The principal, Malam Muhammad Ibrahim Yarima, made the plea at the commissioning of hand-washing facilities at the school donated by Heineken African Foundation in collaboration with WaterAid Nigeria.
“We don’t have enough classes and we don’t have enough accommodation for our students.
“We need our feeding to be a special one because our students have peculiar conditions.
“The food given to us by the government in the school is same with all the boarding schools in Bauchi State, so we are appealing to the government to add to what is given to our school so that our students will be well fed.”
He thanked the donors for their intervention and assured that the management had already selected teachers and students (prefect) to monitor the use of the facilities.
“All our staff and students are observing physical and social distancing, every student and staff is wearing facemask and today the hand washing facilities have been commissioned.”
