Presenting the edifice, Olorogun Engr. Omonefe Uwanogho said, “This school has been here since 1955 and terribly alarming to when I asked my cousin, Alex Ubiebor, where do these children urinate and he told me that they do not have a toilet. This I deemed severely unfortunate and felt this was an immediate emergency to be attended to promptly.

“It is not great the over 60 years, that children pass through education without the awareness that a toilet should be a standard facility in a school premises. You can see how these poor children already start off life on the back foot.

“As it is today, these children are not going to urinate on the floor again as they now have nice toilets to with water system to ease themselves.
