The directive follows a viral video in which a student highlighted the lack of electricity and water supply at the facility.
In a statement issued by Management, the Service noted that it had already disbursed the school’s recurrent expenditure allocations well before the footage surfaced online, urging local school authorities to utilize the funds to resolve the situation.
“Long before the video, Management had duly disbursed the school’s recurrent expenditure allocations, so the school leadership is encouraged to take the necessary measures to address the concerns of the students,” the statement read.
The Service assured parents, guardians, and the general public that it is collaborating with school officials and relevant state agencies to assess the facility and expedite a permanent solution.
Management further advised students to channel their grievances through established school administrative structures to ensure swift redress.
