According to the Minister, this is consistent with their progressive ideal of improving the human condition as well as critical intervention to support education.
“The gap of our infrastructure needs is steadily being bridged by a gradual process of repairs, renewal and construction on major highways and it has reached the schools, he said.
“During the construction, about 33 skilled and unskilled labourers were employed in the process, contributing to the job creation initiative of the Federal Government”.
The minister hopes that the school will ensure the asset is used properly and not abused.
