Dilapidated classroom
The buildings and classrooms in Alimosho Grammar School, Moshalasi, in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, are in a state of dereliction.
A visit to the school by PUNCH METRO on Wednesday revealed that the school has long been neglected.
Our correspondent observed that a two-storey building, which is the only modern one in the school, is under threat of imminent collapse and the school authorities have placed a red tape to mark it as a danger zone.
As a result, it was learnt that the SS2 and SS3 pupils, who occupied the two-storey building, had been relocated another one that had no roofs within the school premises.
Pupils were seen learning in the dilapidated buildings, said to be formerly occupied by SS1 pupils.
An SS3 pupil, who did not want his name in print, told our correspondent that nothing was working in the school.
He said when the classrooms became choked, some of the pupils were moved to nearby schools such as State High School, Moshalasi.
He added that the SS3 pupils, numbering more than 80 were in one class, while about 160 SS2 pupils occupied two classrooms in Alimosho Grammar School.
Another pupil, who identified himself simply as Ayomide, said because of the appalling state of the buildings and the congestion in the classrooms, most pupils no longer found learning interesting.
The pupil said, “Alimosho Grammar School is a hell of a place to learn. In this school, more than four buildings have no roofs. When rain falls, we are drenched and when sun shines, we are scorched. We learn under very excruciating condition.
