Tragedy in Education: Kogi Students Forced to Learn Under Trees as School Lies in Ruins for Over a Decade
In a heartbreaking revelation, students of Government Science Secondary School, Oguma, in Bassa LGA, Kogi State, have been learning under mango trees for over 10 years due to the total collapse of school infrastructure.
Classrooms have no roofs, no walls, no windows—just crumbling blocks and shattered dreams. With no shelter, students are exposed to scorching heat, rain, and insecurity, forcing many parents to withdraw their children in search of private education they can barely afford.
The situation was brought to light by civic platform Monitng, which condemned the silence and inaction of both past and present administrations, despite alleged allocations of billions of naira to education under former Governor Yahaya Bello and the current government led by Governor Usman Ododo.
"This is not education—it’s abandonment," Monitng said, urging Governor Ododo to declare a state of emergency in the education sector and take immediate action to renovate the school and restore dignity to public education.
According to UBEC, ₦250 billion was disbursed for basic school upgrades across the country, yet Oguma remains a symbol of neglect and misappropriation.
As teachers lose morale and communities fall into despair, one truth remains clear: Nigeria’s children deserve better than classrooms under mango trees.
