Metro Eric Moore: Lagos School Where Students Sit On the Floor [SEE PHOTOS]

Students of Eric Moore Junior High School, Surulere, receive lessons under makeshift classrooms, with some of them sitting on the floor.

The school is located near the residence of the former governor of the State and now minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola in Lagos State.

“You will pity the students whenever it rains,” a staff told Guardian Newspaper on Tuesday, pleading anonymity. “It is always difficult to teach them in such condition. Hopefully, the government can do something urgently about the school,” the staff added.

When The Guardian contacted the public relations officer of the State’s Ministry of Education, Mr Adesegun Ogundare, he said the government was constantly renovating schools that were in bad shape. But he could not state whether Eric Moore Junior High School was pencilled down for renovation any time soon.

This is bad. Why won't it be like this when their children are in big schools.

It is a pity that there is such a school with a wonderful name in such deplorable and shameful condition in the mighty state led by Fashola of all APC. Chai, there is God ooo.
