Delta State School Faces Teacher Shortage and Poor Facilities
Iginuwa Primary School in Ode-Itsekiri Community, Warri South Local Government Area, Delta State, is facing severe neglect, with toilet facilities overgrown by weeds. Currently, only four teachers, including Mrs. Weyinmi Areyenka, are employed at the school.
The shortage of teachers is attributed to the difficulties of traveling to the riverine community, as many posted teachers refuse to report due to safety concerns. Areyenka recounted a past accident on the high sea while commuting to work, emphasizing the risks involved.
She consistently uses a life jacket for safety. The situation is equally challenging at the local secondary school, with both teachers and pupils suffering from the lack of resources.
Areyenka has appealed to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to assign more teachers willing to work in such difficult conditions to the area.
