FCT school converts health centre to classrooms

The management of Government Secondary School (GSS) Jeda, Kuje area council has converted the health centre within the school into classrooms.
This, the management said, was due to shortage of classrooms for students.
The improvisation by the management came to the fore on Thursday, when the facilitator of the Centre, Philip Aduda (PDP-Abuja) inspected the project and others within Kuje and Gwagwalada area councils.
The school’s principal, Mohammed Tanko, said the improvisation came about due to shortage of classrooms for students of the school.
The action, he explained, was in line with the saying that “necessity is the mother of invention.”
Mr Tanko said, “The management, staff and students of GSS Jedda are extremely grateful for the intervention projects facilitated to the school like the block of six classrooms nearing completion. Others are the already completed primary health care centre which is being temporarily used as classrooms.”
He added, “The conversion of the health care centre into classrooms for now, is temporary pending the completion of a block of six classrooms project. Practically, apart from classrooms carved out from the health centre, temporary offices for principal, vice principal are also being carved out.”
Mr Aduda urged the school to make the best use of projects facilitated there.
“I’m happy that the primary health centre is not being vandalised but improvised for other very useful purposes. My appeal to the school management is to ensure adequate care for all the projects and facilities provided,” explained Mr Aduda.
Meanwhile, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Kuje, Henry Ugbaja, said the lawmaker had served the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) meritoriously without bias.
Mr Ugbaja noted that one of the roads in Lanto, Kuje Area Council, facilitated by the lawmaker had given access to over 25 churches and mosques.
