The report read, “In 2020, we visited Government Day Secondary School, Diko, Gurara LGA, Niger State, and found the school in a completely dysfunctional and dilapidated state.
A new report released by a civic tech organisation, TrackaNG, has revealed that despite over N450million budget allocation and N400million payment confirmed in the 2025 budget performance report for the renovation of Government Day Secondary School, Diko, in the Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State, the school still lies in ruins while students learn sitting on bare floors and under a collapsing roof.
Tracka called on anti-corruption agencies to investigate the alleged disappearance of the hundreds of millions of naira meant for the renovation of the school, accusing the Niger State government of abandoning students in unsafe and dilapidated learning conditions despite the alleged massive financial disbursements.
In the report released on Thursday, May 28, 2026, Tracka alleged that although N457.6million was allocated in the 2025 Niger State budget for the rehabilitation of the school, there was “absolutely no evidence” that renovation works had commenced despite claims that N400million had already been released.
