Mater Dei College, founded in 1962, is a Catholic-owned institution and is being managed by the Catholic Diocese of Warri.
Mr Edah said if urgent steps are not taken to rehabilitate the school, it may go into extinction like St. Mary Magdalene, a renowned girl’s secondary school in the 70s and 80s, also in Ashaka.
According to Mr Edah, a reverend father, the taking over of the school management by the government did not help in any way. “I met just about 108 students with a tuition fee of N15,000 which amounts to a total sum of N1,620,000. He said when he ran out of steam with regard to the payment of salaries sometime in 2022, he immediately wrote to the diocese.“I am mentioning this so as to dissuade some of us from thinking I have not met the diocese for assistance to address the deteriorating state of the school.
“They should assist and support us with the reconstruction of the perimeter fence, renovation of classroom blocks, laboratories, library, ICT centre and hostel facilities.“I am not calling on you to pick up all the projects in the school, it is my job to do so. That is why I have been sent here, but am handicapped at the moment because of the low student population.
