Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has expressed regret about the current level of education in the state.
The Governor voiced his displeasure when he visited an Approved School, which was designed to function as a penal facility for the modification of aberrant conduct, particularly among underage children.
Lawal blamed the rot in the school system on the previous administration’s carelessness and decried the dirty state of the school atmosphere.
He pointed to the terrible stench escaping from some portions of the student hostel, the broken school windows, cracked walls, and ragged flooring, noting that some of the kids slept on worn-out beds.
The Governor, noticeably troubled by the state of the school, inspected the kitchen, vacant workshop halls, and other areas of the institution.
According to the Governor:
“I have come to see for myself the condition of this place but what I have seen so far is horrible. I can’t even explain.
“The place which should have been a befitting centre for correcting deviant behaviours of children is in a condition that one cannot keep an animal let alone human beings.
“No responsible parent will contemplate bringing his child to such a very bad environment no matter the gravity of his delinquent behaviour.” the Governor said.”
