Akah Wants Communities To  Protect  School Infrastructure

Executive Chairman of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB),Ven Fyneface Akah, has called on communities where school projects and infrastructure are sited to stand with the government to ensure that those projects are protected from vandalism and destruction .
Akah said the school projects are built and  provided for the good and educational  development of their children and the entire communities at large, hence, they need to support government in that regard.
The RSUBEB boss made this call when he granted audience to the community  leaders of  Kwawa in Khana Local Government Area,Umuoga Community   in Etche Local Government Area Ogbumnum abali Community   in  Port Harcourt City Local Government Area in  the state ,as well as Anglican Women Association in Port Harcourt ,over the weekend .
The chairman averred that the meeting has provided the needed opportunity to sensitise the people on their expected responsibilities towards providing security to government schools in their areas ,adding that the assumption and belief system people have  that government properties and infrastructure domiciled in  communities do not belong to the people must be  descarded.
“Don’t be lackadaisical in protecting the schools in your area. They are built to serve the education needs of your children. We want community partnership and engagement on the management of schools in these areas .”he stated
Akah told them to ensure they have functioning SBMC in their areas so as to stand the opportunity to benefit from Federal Government interventions,adding  that positive collaboration with the board and various stakeholders in the management of schools was necessary.
