STUDENTS of a Community Primary School in Alimosho were, in the early hours of today, Tuesday, May 23, left stranded and confused when they appeared in their school uniforms for what they thought would have been another day of learning.
Lacking basic amenities and modern teaching aids, Community Primary School, Ayanwale’s woes were further compounded on Monday, May 22, 2023, when a rainstorm hit the shack-like structure that served as the school building, destroying it.
As the incident occurred at night, only mother luck prevented what could have been a greater catastrophe: the possibility of the rainstorm hitting during school hours and jeopardising the lives of hundreds of pupils.
Community Primary School Ayanwale is located on Boltex Odesanya Street, one of the dozens of streets adjourning Ayanwale Street, inarguably one of the most popular neighbourhoods in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
The Herald reports that the community has tried, on several occasions, to get the state government to take over and build a befitting structure for the school but has been met with empty promises to date.
