They explained that their teachers also struggle without the basic facilities that make teaching effective and dignified.

“In addition, during our last community meetings, it was agreed that the school should employ  PTA teachers to help the government teachers. This decision was made for the good of our children, but it requires steady financial support to fund their monthly allowances.

“As proud sons and daughters of Ophorigbala, we cannot allow this situation to continue. We are therefore making a heartfelt appeal to every individual, group, and friend of the community to join hands in supporting this noble cause. Your contribution, no matter the size, will go a long way in providing the much-needed chairs and desks for students, support the funding of PTA teachers’ allowances and proper furniture for teachers.

“Together, we can restore dignity to learning in Ophorigbala Mixed Secondary School.

Let us give our children the enabling environment they deserve, and equip our teachers to perform at their best. We kindly call on all well-meaning individuals, community branches, and stakeholders to support this initiative.

“For further details or to make your support known, please contact Mrs Clara Agba, Chairman of Education Committee on telephone number-08033610214 May God bless you as you give back to the land that nurtured us all,” the statement read.
