What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Odomase Number One, (B/R), May 8, GNA – Lack of toilet facilities and washrooms are impeding academic progress at the Odomase Presbyterian Junior High School at Odomase Number One in the Sunyani West Municipality.

According to Mrs Mavis Afowaa, the Headmistress, the school’s toilets for students and teachers remained unused for some years now because of its deplorable and unhygienic condition.

The appalling situation, she added, compelled the school children and some teachers to either go back home to visit the nature call or ease themselves, or use the nearby bush as places of convenience.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Odomase Number One, Mrs Afowaa described the situation worrying, having a huge toll on girls and female teachers of the school.

She said the school had no washrooms for girls to change themselves, saying because of that, many of the girls failed to attend classes when they were in their menstrual periods.
