In Bayelsa State, the state of President Goodluck Jonathan, and former
governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha who was convicted and pardoned by
Jonathan, the state government planned upgrading of 5 secondary schools
to boarding schools, N2billion was budgeted in 2012 and N135million in
2010. We paid a visit to Sagbama, Kaiama, Nembe and Ogbia. No Upgrade
was done!
The revelations are quite disturbing. Continue to see more:
Fencing of schools – N200M ($1.3M) in 2012, N200M ($1.3M) in 2011 and N150M ($1M) in 2010. In all schools visited no fencing exists at most you see very old fences, not constructed by any of them.
