SHOCKING!!!

Dear Governor @HonBago

This is Zariyawa Community School in Zariyawa Maje, Suleja LGA, Niger State.

This is the only school structure serving the children of this community, yet the entire school has just four rooms, which are being used to serve both primary and secondary school pupils.

The condition of this school raises serious questions about the kind of learning environment we are providing for our children. Pupils are forced to sit on bare floors during lessons because there are inadequate classrooms, desks, chairs and other basic facilities needed for effective learning.

Imagine being a child who wakes up every morning, prepares for school and walks into a classroom, only to have nowhere to sit except the bare floor. Imagine trying to concentrate on a lesson for hours while sitting on the ground, simply because your community does not have adequate facilities.

These children deserve the opportunity to learn in a safe, decent and conducive environment.

The problem is not just the lack of furniture. The school has only four rooms serving pupils at both primary and secondary levels. This places enormous pressure on the available space and makes effective teaching and learning extremely difficult. Teachers are expected to educate children under conditions that would make learning challenging for anyone.

This is a community school, but the children attending it are not second-class citizens. Their education matters just as much as that of children in better-served communities.

The Niger State Government received ₦48.37 billion in FAAC allocations between January and March 2026 alone. With resources being allocated to government at this level, communities like Zariyawa Maje should not have children sitting on bare floors to receive basic education.

We are not asking for luxury. We are asking for the basics: adequate classrooms, desks and chairs, learning materials, proper sanitation and a safe environment where children can learn with dignity.

The Niger State Government, Ministry of Education and Suleja LGA authorities need to urgently visit Zariyawa Community School and see the reality for themselves.

How long should these children continue to sit on bare floors before something is done?

These pupils deserve better. Their parents deserve better. Zariyawa Maje deserves better.

Education should give children hope for a better future not remind them every day that their community has been left behind. #FixPublicSchools @ruffydfire @GuardianNigeria @ARISEtv

SAD REALITY!!!

Attn, Governor @HonBago

🚨 STORY OF CONCERN: BAJI COMMUNITY, GURARA LGA, NIGER STATE

The residents of Baji community in Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State are raising serious concerns over alleged repeated attacks, destruction of farmlands and threats to the lives and livelihoods of farmers.

According to the community, tensions between farmers and people they identify as herders have continued despite previous interventions and peace meetings involving government officials, security agencies, traditional leaders and representatives of the pastoralist community.

Madakin Baji, Malam Usman Yusuf, alleges that more than 60 people have sustained injuries over the past five years in incidents linked to the farmer-herder conflict.

He further alleged that the latest incident occurred on September 19, 2026, when three farmers — Yahaya Ibrahim, Rabi’u Jibrin and Bashar Mohammed — were reportedly seriously injured.

The community also alleges that farmers have, in recent months, faced threats and difficulties accessing their farms, while night grazing has allegedly resulted in the destruction of crops belonging to about 92 households.

A peace meeting was reportedly held following the allegations, with representatives of the local government, police, DSS, NSCDC, vigilantes, Miyetti Allah, the state government and the Baji community participating.

The community says agreements were reached for the affected herders to leave the disputed farmlands, relocate to a designated grazing area, stop further attacks and allow farmers to return to their farms.

However, residents allege that the situation has continued despite those agreements.

This situation requires urgent attention.

The Niger State Government and security agencies should immediately investigate these allegations, establish the facts and identify anyone found responsible for attacks, destruction of property or threats to residents. Where evidence establishes criminal responsibility, those responsible should be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.

Every citizen — farmer, herder or otherwise — deserves protection. No community should be left feeling abandoned or forced to take the law into its own hands.

We also call on community leaders and residents to reject retaliation and avoid spreading unverified information that could further inflame tensions.

The priority must be to protect lives, secure livelihoods, restore access to farms, enforce lawful agreements and rebuild trust between the affected communities.

MONITNG is calling on the Niger State Government and all relevant security agencies to act urgently before the situation escalates further.

Justice, accountability and peaceful coexistence must prevail.

REVEALED!!!
Attn:
FCT Minister @GovWike & Sen @IretiKingibe
This is the current reality at Junior Secondary School Gurfata, Ibwa Ward, Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT Abuja, the only secondary school serving this community, now pushed to the edge.

Gurfata community has been told it cannot admit new JS1 students because there are no functional classrooms left.

A destructive windstorm damaged the already weak structures, leaving classrooms dilapidated and unsafe. With nowhere to place incoming students, children who should be in school are now forced to stay home, denied their right to education.

This crisis is not new. Our team first reported this school in November 2024. Months later, nothing has changed. No repairs. No emergency response. No temporary learning structures. Just silence,while students pay the price.

This neglect sharply contradicts public claims by the FCT Minister about renovating countless schools across the FCT. If those claims are true, why has JSS Gurfata received zero attention?

The same minister has been publicly seen attending a graduation ceremony of his son in the United Kingdom, while children in Gurfata cannot even access a basic classroom.

The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, Sen. Ireti Kingibe, has also failed to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people she represents. The community has been left without advocacy, intervention, or accountability.

This school once served hundreds of children. Today, a growing number of kids are completely denied access to education because government has failed to act.

We call on @GovWike, @ubecnigeria, and @IretiKingibe to urgently renovate JSS Gurfata, rebuild damaged classrooms, and provide additional learning spaces. Education cannot wait. Gurfata’s children deserve better and they deserve it now.

Senator Yayi: Best in Palliatives

2015 — Lagos West: Rice, food packs and household items. Ahead of the election.
2019 — Lagos West: Rice and other staples across 10 LGAs. Ahead of re-election.
2021–22 — Ogun West: Regular rice and food distributions. As he built a new political base.
2022–23 — Ogun West: 20,000+ bags of rice, food hampers and cash. Months before the 2023 election.

STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE!!!

Dear @Sen_AdeolaYAYI ,

The people of Ogun State have outgrown this type of “stomach infrastructure” as a form of empowerment.

In 2026, residents deserve more than campaign-branded food items and a 4kg bag of garri presented as political support.

Senator Yayi can do better. The real question is: what lasting impact will this have on the lives of the people? The garri will be consumed within days, but residents will still be confronted with unemployment, poor infrastructure, inadequate healthcare, insecurity and other challenges.

Empowerment should be about creating opportunities, supporting businesses, improving education, building quality infrastructure and implementing programmes that can improve lives sustainably.

Residents should look beyond the temporary value of a bag of garri and demand accountability from those seeking their support. A token gift should never be allowed to determine the value of a person’s future or civic expectations.

To the people of Ogun State: receive whatever is offered to you if you need it, but remember that your civic choices and expectations are worth far more than a temporary gift. Ask what has been delivered, what is being promised, and what lasting benefits will remain after the campaign is over.

Ogun deserves meaningful development, not just campaign-season gifts. #SayNo4kgofGarri

🚨 EDO PUPILS STILL LEARNING ON BARE FLOORS

Pupils of Uokha Grammar School, Owan East LGA, Edo State, have reportedly been seen taking lessons on bare floors inside dilapidated classrooms.

MonITNG raised concerns over the poor condition of the school, including inadequate furniture and deteriorating classroom facilities.

The group also questioned why children are still learning under such conditions despite the state’s reported revenue inflows. 😔
