RSUBEB Harps On Safeguarding Govt’s Facilities In Communities
The authorities of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Board (RSUBEB) has reiterated the importance of communities in safeguarding infrastructure and facilities located in their domain.
The Executive Chairman of the Board, Venerable Fyneface Akah, stated this during a meeting he held in his office with the leadership of Uegvere Community in Khana Local Government Area of the state, recently.
The Rivers SUBEB Chairman thanked the Uegvere Community for recovering and securing two air conditioners that were stolen from Model Primary School in the area, saying that such effort was commendable.
Ven Akah said although school facilities were provided primarily by government, communities were duty bound to exercise protective ownership of the facilities for the sake of their children and the future.
According to him, it will take a decade or even longer for government to return to such school for infrastructure renewal.
Responding, the Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) of Uegvere, Mr Nu-easi Adoobe, said the community would always protect government properties cited in the area and appealed to the government to employ more security personnel to cover the vast expanse of land on which the school sits.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Uegvere Council of Chiefs and Elders, Chief Raphael Kponee requested the UBE Board to reactivate the school’s electricity generating plant, even as the Education Board Chairman promised to provide a more serviceable electricity generator for the school.
