Weed overtakes Delta primary school, as pupils drink water from rust pipe - Daily Post Nigeria

The sanitation facilities at Iginuwa Primary School in Ode-Itsekiri Community, Warri South, Delta State, are overgrown with weeds. Only four teachers are currently working there, and pupils are forced to drink water from a rusty pipe connected to a borehole near the palace of the Olu of Warri, HRM Ogiame Atuwatse III.
