Furthermore, they stated that without appropriate funding the school can not be able to acquire the equipments required for the reopening of the school.

Recall that the federal government has released a guideline for safe reopening of schools and before any institution will be allowed to resume they must have acquired it all and receive approval from the government.

I also use this medium to call on the state government to please pay the staffs and lecturers of the school so that students can return to school.
