Residents of Agila in Ado Local Government Area of Benue State have raised concerns over the deteriorating condition of what is reportedly the only state-owned facility in the community, a secondary school now described as dilapidated.

Agila, a rural community in Ado LGA, has long depended on limited government infrastructure. The secondary school in question is said to be the only state-owned educational facility serving the area.

Images and accounts circulating online show a severely run-down structure, with damaged roofing, cracked walls, and poorly maintained surroundings. Community members say the condition of the school poses risks to students and undermines access to quality education.

The situation has sparked reactions on social media, with calls for authorities to urgently intervene. Some residents have urged indigenes of Agila and Ado to amplify the issue online to attract government attention.

“This is the only state-owned facility we have here, and it’s in a terrible state,” a resident lamented.
Another community member added, “Our children deserve a safe and conducive learning environment. This neglect is unacceptable.”

Residents are now appealing to the Benue State Government and relevant agencies to assess the situation and initiate rehabilitation efforts.
