The dearth of learning spaces and other facilities in Government Secondary School, GSS, Wokkos, Pankshin local government area of Plateau State is worsened further as a rainstorm on Saturday destroyed classrooms and staff offices in the school.
An alumnus of the school, Amos Bitrus said the school was operating in a Primary School in the community but later moved to its current site in 1996 with community donated infrastructure but there are still facility gaps in the school.
Although the office of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs added two classrooms and a staff office about four years ago to address the infrastructure deficit, the intervention is not enough to address the existing problems.
