A social media post by civic platform MonITNG has sparked public concern over the reported condition of Community Comprehensive Secondary School, Four Towns, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
In the post addressed to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, MonITNG described the school as being in a state of disrepair, citing cracked classrooms, blown-off roofs, and broken floors. The group also alleged that students are forced to stand during lessons due to a lack of furniture, while leaking roofs during rainfall make the learning environment unsafe and unconducive.
The report, attributed to legal practitioner Inibehe Effiong, further claimed that the school lacks basic facilities such as doors and windows, raising concerns about the quality of public education infrastructure in the state.
MonITNG questioned the condition of the school in light of the state’s reported revenue profile, noting that Akwa Ibom has received substantial allocations and benefits from oil derivation. The post also referenced the state’s political standing, including its link to the leadership of the National Assembly.
The development has also drawn attention to the Commissioner for Education, Ubong Essien Umoh, who, according to the post, is an alumnus of the school.
The civic group called on the state government to urgently renovate and equip the school, stressing that students deserve a safe and conducive learning environment.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the Akwa Ibom State Government regarding the allegations.
