Furthermore, the total for October, November and December 2025 amounts to N1.6 billion.
In fact, throughout 2025, it received allocations totalling N5.86 billion.
FIJ reported on Thursday that the local government education authority (LGEA) of Ezza North suspended Iloke Hyacienth, the headmaster of Community Primary School, Obulechi Umuoru, after he allowed a blogger to publish details about the dilapidated conditions of the school.
According to the posts shared by Ezza TV, the pupils are being forced to learn in mud-built structures lacking walls, a fence and even roofs.
In one of the clips, the pupils sit on very low benches and the bare muddy floor.
