GOV ORTOM DIRECTS RECONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOL DESTROYED BY HERDSMEN

The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Sunday directs the State Universal Basic Education Board to reconstruct a primary school at Tse-Tseen, Saghev burnt down during herdsmen attacks on the community.

Several primary schools have either been burnt down or abandoned following herders attacks on villages and communities in various parts of the State.

The Governor mandated the Executive Secretary of SUBEB, Joseph Utse, to work out modalities for the reconstruction of all blocks that were burnt down.

The primary school board was also directed to construct an additional block of classrooms in the school to serve the community.

He lamented that the school, which was constructed and fully equipped by his administration was razed down by Fulani terrorists, a development which had left the children of the community without access to education.
