A save our soul appeal has gone to the Anambra state Government and stakeholders in Ihiala Local Government Area, to come to the aid of Saint Judes Secondary school ihiala following a wind storm that blew off the roof of a classroom block.
Speaking at Ihiala, the President of the Old Students Association of the school, Mr. Marcel Awugosi lamented that the incident has worsened the accommodation challenges facing the school as majority of the classes are now over crowded while the surviving classroom blocks are equally in dire need for immediate renovation to save them from collapsing.
Mr. Awugosi noted that the school over the years have produced quality professionals who are contributing immensely in driving various sectors of the nation’s economy while members of the old Students Association have equally made some interventions to support the school.
When contacted, the Principal of the school, Lady Augustina Ukeje said the affected block was accommodating JS Two students who have now been move to SS Three Class because of the ongoing examination in the school hall.
Lady Augustina noted that if nothing is done urgently before the next session, the students would have no place to stay.
According to the Principal, the building housing the Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Food Nutrition Laboratory which was gutted by fire also need re-roofing and renovation.
She called on the Town Union Executive, the Local Government Council, members of the Old Students Association, Philanthropists and other stakeholders in the area to come to the aid of the school to compliment efforts of the state government in driving development in the Education sector.
