Human rights group calls for investigation over pupil’s death in school

According to Mr Zikirullahi, the deceased, Musa Umaru, an 11-year-old primary four pupil of Umar Isa LGEA Primary School, Dembo in Zaria Local Government Area, died when a pillar of a classroom collapsed on him.“We are calling on the government to investigate this incident, hold the contractor who built the school accountable and also reach out to the family of the boy in question”.

“We see these realities everyday in school buildings without roofs, classrooms without furniture, absence of functional toilets and running water, thereby creating hygiene crisis which jeopardizes the health of the children”. “Communities should note that government devotes a certain portion of public funds to basic foundational education.

“There are about ten existing schools in Kubau with a population of about 300 pupils in a class without teachers. Another participant, who is also a tracker of school projects, Yusha’u Abubakar, complained of abandoned schools and uncompleted projects. “On the issue of abandoned schools and uncompleted projects, we will do a follow-up and make investigations.
