The Executive Chairman of Jos South Local Government, Hon. Silas Patrick Dung, has officially performed the commissioning of two blocks of classrooms and official pronouncement of St. George’s Primary School in Rayfield to a Junior Secondary School.
The pronouncement, made during a ceremony on Friday by the Commissioner for Education Dr. Mrs. Kachollom Gang, follows the completion of two new classroom blocks reconstructed by the local government council to meet the standards required by the State Government.
Hon. Silas described the upgrade as a fulfillment of a campaign promise made to the Top community, which had long sought a secondary school to reduce travel time for students. He expressed his personal commitment to the project, having graduated from the historic school himself, and pledged the Local Government’s continued support to ensure the school’s success.
The Commissioner for Education, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Sadia Ibrahim Yero, commended the chairman for pushing for the upgrade. She stated that the establishment of the school aligns with the State Government’s priority to make quality education more accessible.
