School Resumption: Jericho High School Sends SOS to Oyo Govt Over Flooding Experience
Jericho High School, located in Eleyele, Ibadan, has issued an urgent appeal to the Oyo State Government for immediate intervention in fixing the only access road to the school.
The road has been severely impacted by flooding, which has rendered it almost impassable. As a result, both students and teachers may face significant challenges when school resumes on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024.
The school administration is particularly concerned about the possibility of unforeseen casualties due to the worsening condition of the road.
Heavy rains in recent weeks have further deteriorated the road, leaving parts submerged under water. With the rainy season still ongoing, the situation could become more dangerous if left unaddressed.
In their plea, the school specifically called on Governor Seyi Makinde and the relevant authorities to act quickly in repairing the road before the resumption of academic activities.
They noted that the flooding threatens not only the safety of those accessing the school, but also the smooth functioning of day-to-day operations.
The school emphasized that without immediate attention, both students and staff could be forced to navigate hazardous conditions to reach the school premises, which would not only disrupt education but could also put lives at risk.
