A devastating fire has gutted the Special Education School in Yobe State, leaving extensive destruction in its wake. The incident occurred on Friday around 4:30 p.m., reducing key facilities to ashes.
Despite efforts by local residents to contain the fire, the inferno proved too overwhelming, completely destroying the male and female hostels, the principal’s office, and the school store. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. However, many students lost their personal belongings and are now forced to sleep in available classrooms due to the destruction of their hostels.
Lawan Mustapha, the Vice Principal of the school in Damagum, has appealed to the government, non-governmental organizations, and well-meaning individuals to provide support.
He emphasized the urgent need for rebuilding the school, which serves as the only boarding special education institution in the state.
Efforts to rebuild and provide relief for the affected students are now a top priority.
