The ravaging flood has submerged so many schools in some communities in Delta State.
DAILY POST reports that primary and secondary schools were affected by the flood.
Some of the schools sacked by the flood include, Ovrode primary school as well as virtually all schools in Ofagbe and Igbide communities in Isoko South Local Government Area.
The flood did not spare schools in Communities under Patani and Bomadi.
Many of the flood victims have relocated to safer abodes with their children who no longer go to school.
However, the Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa-led state government has tried to establish IDP camps across the State as well as provide relief materials to the flood victims.
In a reaction, the Delta State Commissioner of Information, Mr. Ehiedu Charles Aniagwu, insisted that children are going to school.
Aniagwu, who is also the spokesman of the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, said the State Government has established learning zones in the IDP Camps to avoid the “dislocation” of academic calendar within the camps.
He said,”We made sure that teachers go to the camps to teach. In some other places, we did what we call the merger school system. Maybe, some people were taken away. We also asked them to join some of their colleagues in other schools that were not impacted.”
Aniagwu also noted that the state government also put in place medical camps to cater for the health needs of the affected victims.
