Enugu Plans Primary Schools Transformation

The Chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government Area in Enugu State, Mr Festus Ozoemena, says his administration is poised to transform all the primary schools in the council area.

Ozoemena made the pledge in an interview with newsmen in Enugu.

He said that already, construction of classroom blocks and provision of infrastructural facilities in most of the primary schools had commenced.

The council chairman explained that his administration would ensure that all the dilapidated classroom blocks in the primary schools would be upgraded.

Ozoemena said work had commenced in eight primary schools which would be completed in a month’s time.

He also said that the administration had procured 5000 desks and tables for pupils and teachers in 15 primary schools in the council.

He said the council had also embarked on an aggressive construction of boreholes in different communities to make water available for the residents.

“My administration, since its inception, has drilled not less than three boreholes at the first three months of this tenure.

“Work is still ongoing in the rehabilitation of greater Ukehe water scheme to boost water supply in the local government area.

“This administration is very sensitive to water reticulation at various communities, so, a lot of emphasis has been laid in making sure that every community in the local government is provided with potable water.”

He added that arrangements had been concluded to drill more boreholes in different communities of the local government.
