"The desks belong to the government, the schools also belong to the government. If one school has more than enough, there is no reason keeping them locked up, while children in the other school sit on bare floors to learn.
"The desks are made of plyboards and they have their life span. You can even see that some of them are already going bad, hence the need to give them out to schools where they are needed. That is how we could be our brother's keeper," he said.
The head teacher of Ozolua Primary School, Ora-Siluko, Mrs. Helen Ojo, praised the brilliant reasoning of the Chairman, just as the Chairman of the Local School-based Management Committee of the community, Elder Sunday Ajayi, lauded the initiative.
