He said, “Upon inquiry by my source, a senior teacher in the school who refused to be mentioned by name said an the order came in this morning from above that the ” Thank You Suswam ” inscription be removed.
“These schools have been with these inscription for almost two years of this government in power, is it anger from the unconditional release of Dr Gabriel Suswam from detention or it’s pettiness of an idle government that lacks the ideas to govern well?”
However, checks by this newspaper show that an inscription of ‘Ortom for You’ inscribed on all SDGs projects in the school are still intact.
Meanwhile, a native of the state, Sontyo Jimmy, said writing names of politicians on projects built with public fund is an insult.
