On a visit to some of the public schools\u00a0 Our roving reporter\u00a0 observed low turnout of teachers and students especially those in Owerri metropolis.<\/p>\n
The turnout of teachers and students was not encouraging on the first day of resumption at World Bank urban Secondary School New Owerri,\u00a0 City Secondary School Owerri situated along Wetheral road Owerri.<\/p>\n
The students physically seen at the school premises were not up to ten\u00a0 while the teachers who came to school did not exceed thirty.<\/p>\n
The principal for junior and senior secondary schools came to school on time and were in their various offices till 2:30pm.<\/p>\n

Our roving reporter, further observed that the school premises have been taken over by over grown weeds and reptiles.<\/p>\n
Information has it that in\u00a0 some of those\u00a0 some schools due to how bushy the environment is had\u00a0 snakes around which\u00a0 disturbed the students\u00a0 from cleaning the school premises and their various class rooms\u00a0 effectively.<\/p>\n
