According to them, the situation has forced many children to walk for long distances to attend schools in the uncompleted structure whilst others have dropped out.
They have, therefore, appealed to authorities to, as a matter of urgency, help complete the school to enable effective studies and access to better educational facilities.
Reacting to the situation, the Assembly Member in the area said several reports made by the Assembly to the government for the contractors to return to the site failed.
He lamented that the school has produced many important persons including himself, however, the challenges continue to affect the children’s education.
