SHOCKING!!! Attn, Governor @HyacinthAlia The condition of Okoto-Ugboju LGEA Primary School in Benue State deserves urgent attention. The children are trying to learn in classrooms with damaged floors and deteriorating structures, while some pupils are forced to sit on the bare floor because there are no desks for them. These are young children whose only hope of a better future may lie in the education they receive today. They should not have to learn under such conditions. Every child, regardless of their community or family background, deserves a safe classroom, a proper desk and an environment where learning can take place with dignity. What makes this situation even more concerning is the reported ₦137.38 billion that Benue State received in FAAC allocations between January and September 2026. This figure needs to be verified, but if confirmed, it raises an important question: how much of the state's public revenue is being invested in basic education, and why are schools like Okoto-Ugboju LGEA Primary School still in this condition? Public funds should translate into visible improvements in people's lives, particularly in education, healthcare and other essential services. Communities deserve transparency about how government revenue is spent, and parents deserve to know what is being done to provide their children with decent learning facilities. We appeal to the Benue State Government, the Ministry of Education, the State Universal Basic Education Board, the relevant local government authorities and other concerned stakeholders to urgently visit this school and take concrete steps to renovate the classrooms and provide adequate desks and learning materials. This is not about politics. It is about the welfare and future of our children. Please, let us raise our voices, share these pictures and draw the attention of those who can make a difference. The children of Okoto-Ugboju deserve better. Their education cannot wait. #FixOurSchools

Dear Hon Minister @BTOofficial I sincerely appreciate the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and the Nigeria Immigration Service for extending the Special Passport Intervention Exercise in the United Kingdom. This extension is a welcome development and a relief to many Nigerians in the diaspora who are struggling to renew or obtain their passports. However, I respectfully appeal to the Minister and the relevant authorities to consider establishing permanent liaison offices in designated cities across the UK. Passport services should not be a one-off exercise but a continuous process that allows Nigerians living abroad to access these essential services without unnecessary stress, travel expenses, or long waiting periods. Such offices would also help Nigerian parents whose children were born in the UK to process the necessary documentation and apply for Nigerian passports and national identity registration, in accordance with the applicable requirements. A permanent and accessible system would demonstrate a lasting commitment to the welfare of Nigerians in the diaspora and strengthen their connection to their homeland. Thank you once again for this extension. We hope this initiative will lead to a more permanent and sustainable solution for all Nigerians in the United Kingdom. @nigimmigration

EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @HyacinthAlia This is the current condition of RCM Primary School, Adikpo, in Mayange Mbayan, Ushongo LGA, Benue State. Since 2023, this school has reportedly remained in ruins, while children who should be learning are left without a decent classroom. Behind these broken walls are innocent children with dreams, ambitions and a future worth fighting for. How can we expect them to learn effectively when the very environment meant to support their education has been abandoned? Parents worry about their children’s future, and the community continues to bear the painful consequences of this neglect. Residents have reportedly written several letters to relevant stakeholders, pleading for the school to be renovated, but their appeals have yet to produce the needed results. This is happening in a country where an estimated 18.3 million children are out of school. Every neglected school risks making an already serious education crisis worse. Meanwhile, Benue State reportedly received over ₦137.38 billion in FAAC allocations between January and September 2026. If this figure is confirmed, residents deserve to know what proportion of public resources is being invested in education and why a school in this condition has remained unattended for so long. We call on the Benue State Government, the Ministry of Education, SUBEB, Ushongo LGA and all relevant authorities to urgently intervene and restore RCM Primary School to a safe, functional learning environment. These children did not choose to be born into a community where their school could be left to decay. They deserve the same opportunity to learn, grow and succeed as every other Nigerian child. A classroom is not a luxury. Education is a right, and these children must not be forgotten. Please amplify this appeal until the authorities listen and action is taken. #FixPublicSchools

EXPOSED!!! Attn, Governor @ubasanius & Hon Minister @muhammadpate This is the only Primary Health Care Centre serving Sabon Gida, Fadan Karshi Ward, Sanga Local Government Area, Kaduna State, yet it is in a terrible condition. The ceilings are collapsing, the walls are cracked and peeling, and the facility looks abandoned. There are no essential drugs, functional equipment, or adequate qualified health workers. Pregnant women, children suffering from malaria and fever, and elderly people with chronic illnesses are left without proper care. Many must travel long distances to access treatment or risk buying drugs from unlicensed vendors. Between January and September 2026, Kaduna State received ₦203.60 billion in gross FAAC allocations, while local governments also received substantial funding. Despite this, residents of Sabon Gida continue to suffer from a neglected health facility. The Federal Government has also released billions of naira through the Basic Health Care Provision Fund to improve primary healthcare nationwide. Yet, this centre remains in a deplorable state, raising serious concerns about accountability, funding priorities, and the delivery of essential healthcare services. We call on @KadunaMOH and the Sanga Local Government Council to urgently renovate this facility, provide essential medicines and functional medical equipment, and deploy qualified healthcare workers. The people of Sabon Gida deserve access to safe, affordable, and reliable healthcare. No community should be abandoned when it comes to basic medical services. Authorities must act now to protect lives and restore this facility to a functional condition. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. #FixOurPHCs @Fmohnigeria @Muyi_Aina
