Japan gives 317 classrooms to Nigeria

The Japanese government, working through the Japan International Cooperation Agency handed over 317 classrooms to the Federal Government of Nigeria yesterday Thursday January 10th. The classrooms were a result of a project started in June 2010 and is part of Japan’s Grant Aid to Nigeria.

The classrooms were constructed in 33 primary schools across 22 local government areas of in Kano State. It is expected to be able to accommodate around 12,680 pupils and also included 308 toilet booths. Japanese ambassador to Nigeria Ryuichi Shoji, handed over the classrooms to Minister of state for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, and said that the 2.31 billion Naira (US$14.8 million) spent on the project was an important investment, as education is an invaluable asset for children and a crucial factor in the economic development of a country.

I sincerely pray that Boko Haram should not burn the schools down... But it's a nice gesture. The northerners really needs to be educated!

This government and its incumbents have no shame.
Japan dashing us classrooms, whilst our incumbents ride around in flash cars, living in mansions and awarding dodgy contracts to their cronies to fill their pockets. Shame, shame on them.

Thank you Japan. God will bless you and replenish your pockets.

Wat is the motive behind it? Let dem stop 'washing' us jare! All the so called 'assistance' we ve received from the international community is just a way of milking us more, I know some of you will be quick to scream 'corrupt leaders' but trust me our leaders are 'dumb thieves' but them people are 'intellectual criminals' they will be stealing from ur country and in the eyes of the citizens they are doing us good and we will be thanking them(just as u all are doing now)! Africa Wake up!!! "Intellectual myopia" is a serious problem in Africa, even more serious than 'Corruption' every1 is screaming..... T.

no controversy you're 100% on point. The real world works on give and take barter and only Nigeria doesnt undertsand this bilateral concept. Education is actually the most IMPORTANT ministry in Nigeria bar none. It shouldn't even look like it requires aid to an outside donor if ou our leaders had any visoin at all.

33 primary skuls in 22 LGA's of one state..
What happened to a citing a skul in every state of the "Federation"?
Isnt that part of d true federalism we'v been sreaming about?

God bless them ooo,but we should be very suspicious abt things.I think they are interested in our fertile land,for agriculture this 2013.and are trying to invest on it.cos very soon,there will be famine due to climate change.and Nigeria is one of the country in Africa that have almost all the opportunities in agricultural aspect.even if our government don't know the benefit

Anonymous said...

No!!!! Common, we dont need all these aids in Africa. They should leave us alone and let us develop on our own.

Trust me, if a country givea you an aid worth $1, they will reap $100 in return. All these aids are soft ground for them to penetrate your country.

We need to get our acts together. We have the money. Just confiscate 2 jets that all these politicians and militants have bought, you will build double the number of the classrooms japan just gave to Nigeria.

Nonsense of a country with dullards and thieves in power.

My one cent...I know it doesn't get nowhere though!

i hope plateau state governor is aware,may be he will see d relevance on education. not leaving teachers 10months without pay

palo said...

Nigerians love getting aids, we always want to potray a hopeless and helpless situation to †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ international community,but they see us for what we trully are, a bunch of greedy corrupt people with no love for eachother.
As for japan this is definitely a greek styled gift Nigerian government should beware because †̥ђε̲̣̣̣̥ japanese worked really hard to build their country,they spend wisely they just don't hand over gifts for free..

palo said...

I wonder, and to think these Northerners hardly value western education, I doubt if those classes will be put to good use,

Fehinty said...

I just hope uncle boko will not do anything to d class

2.31 billlion for 317 classrooms. Very impressive. Believe me, Nigerian govt will spend that same sum on 50 classroom. Smh!!!

Anonymous said...

Don't worry, they plan to replenish their pockets with whatever it is they are "eyeing". Wake up Nigerians: there is no free lunch! Be ready to hand these guys your "birthrights".

faythe said...

AND what are we giving in return? allegiance? because we nigerians have nothing to offer the Japanese government except OH WAIT loyalty! if shit goes down in japan, they would expect us to throw our people at their door steps to do as they like. all these aids in disguise, why accept from strangers when we could take care of our own?
