From Noah Ebije, Kaduna

The Principal, Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Senior Section, Kawo, Kaduna, Mrs Victoria Hassan has expressed excitement at the commissioning of some facilities in the school by the State governor, Uba Sani.

Fielding questions from Reporters on Friday, shortly after the commissioning ceremony, Mrs Hassan recalled how the school hostels were burnt in a fire incident about three years ago, saying that with the new facilities, students would now enjoy conducive learning environment.

Earlier, while cutting the tape to formally commission the facilities which included blocks of classrooms and the hostels, governor Uba Sani encouraged the staff and the students to make judicious use of the facilities for better works delivery.

According to the school principal, “We are here for the commissioning of the school facilities because some few years ago, the hostels got burnt. This was precisely, in 2020, when the hostels got burnt, but I cannot tell now what caused the fire incident.

“We are now happy with the new facilities we have in the school, we can even compete with higher institutions because the school has been upgraded seriously.

“Following the fire incident, we were relocated to Rimi college here in Kaduna, while the State government gave the contract for the renovation of our school to Agile projects company, Kaduna. They have built the hostels, and in each hostel we have 400 capacity of students.

“New toilets of 35 numbers were added to the old ones. A block of six classrooms and a block of four classrooms were being constructed and renovated under old blocks.

“The Administration blocks of the senior section was also renovated. The Administration blocks of the junior section was also renovated. So we are praying to God to give us the grace and the spirit to utilise the structures and the materials we have here now.

“The students who are all girls are the backbone of the society. If you train them well you automatically train the whole society, the society will benefit from them. So we will make sure that we make judicious use of what government has given us. In the senior section we have 56 teachers.

“We can now boast of seven boreholes because new ones have been added to the former ones. We don’t have problem of water in the school. We have enough furnitures in the classrooms so there is no issue of congestion. We can now also boast of e-Library in the school.

“We want to thank His Excellency, the governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani for the spirit of hardwork he has exhibited and the political will he is showing on girls education. We pray that God will keep him in office and give him more wisdom to bring to the school what we don’t have and to the people in general so that the State can move forward. We are looking forward to seeing our students competing academically with the rest of the world in no distance time by the grace of God”.
