Pupils still sit on bare floor to learn at schools in Delta

 

UGHELLI MEMBER of the Delta State House of Assembly representing Ughelli South Constituency, Hon Reuben Izeze, is bewildered that Primary School pupils at Omosuomo and Ekameta, two riverside communities in his area, still sit on bare floor to study without desks.Hon Izeze, who undertook a tour of the communities to appraise their needs, said what he observed during the visit staggered him.

He said, From what I saw in the course of my tour of the 69 communities that make up my constituency, I can confirm to you that Ughelli South is indeed one of the most backward local government areas in Delta state in terms of infrastructural development.
He bemoaned: To get to some of the riverside Ewu communities in my constituency, which is Ughelli South, you have to pass other local government areas, Burutu and Bomadi, this is irritating as it is burdensome to my people.
I also found that there are major communities in the Jeremi area that are not accessible during the rains because of lack of roads and bridges.
He said that practically all the existing water schemes in the local government were not functional, while government have not connected the riverside communities, also threatened by coastal erosion, to the national grid.
