Parents, teachers and students of Spring of Life International
School, Enugu have resorted to holding vigils in their school premises
after the state government allegedly indicated plans to demolish their
school which they termed an illegal structure.
The state government
had recently embarked on pulling down illegal structures in the state
built without a town plan approval and had marked their school premises
for demolition. Their school management immediately approached an Enugu
state court and the court issued an injunction barring the state
government from carry out the planned demolishing.
After students and
school management saw tractors and bulldozers of the state government
around their school premises, they have been keeping watch morning and
night in hopes of stopping any attempted demolition.
The students say
other buildings on the same street where their school is situated,
Golden Royal Hotel (most state govt function hold there), Blue island
hotel and even a bare land just besides the school which is currently
being fenced have been left out of the planned demolition.
