This school below is at Maza Maza in the old Ojo Local Council, but is now under the jurisdiction of Oriade LCDA, in metropolitan Lagos.

As the photograph shows, everything about the derelict school cries for Governor Raji Fashola’s attention: the walls need fresh coat of paints; the roof needs replacement, even the compound can benefit from some grassing.

The school called Oyewole Primary School on old Ojo Road is not far from the Oba’s palace. It is also located near the State Primary Education Board. One wonders what the agency has been doing to make the school conducive for the children.

Over to you Governor Fashola.
