A video has captured pupils of a government primary school located in the Nation’s Federal Capital Territory learning while sitting on the bare floor.
The LEA Primary School, Mabo Paikon Kore, Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja, was seen surrounded by thick bushes capable of harbouring reptiles.
Some of the classrooms had no ceilings while others had the ceiling boards falling off. The walls of some classrooms had caved in and were covered with rusty corrugated iron roofing sheets.
A few of the pupils sat on chairs provided by their parents but the chairs and desks were shared by several other pupils.
