Residents of Umuoba Anam in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State have raised concerns over the deteriorating state of a two-storey building in the Community Secondary School, Umuoba Anam.
The residents, who raised the concerns after an inspection tour of the school by the Education Committee of the Umuoba Anam Town Union on Thursday, expressed fears that the structure could collapse without urgent intervention.
The delegation, led by the President-General of the Town Union, Uchenna Anizor, and the President of the Umuoba Anam Youth Forum, Onyebuchi Mmeh, inspected classrooms and other facilities while interacting with the school’s management, teachers and students.
Speaking, Anizor said it observed that the ageing two-storey building had developed extensive cracks, raising fears over the safety of students and staff.
