Information reaching The Fatu Network has it that mosquitoes have increasingly become a major problem in some part of Brikama Primary School in the West Coast Region.
According to reliable sources, some students could not attend lessons without buying mosquito coils to repel the parasites.
A visit to the school has confirmed some of the alleged complaints. There is an abandoned toilet behind the Grade 2 Block that is a breeding space for mosquitoes.
One parent told this medium that the matter was brought to the attention of the Headmaster to engage health officials to spray the mosquitoes but to no avail. The passersby use the school toilet through a fallen fence at the back.
“We are looking for sponsors,” one woman said.
The Headmaster of the Primary School was not available for comment.
The Brikama Primary School is one of the oldest schools in the area attended by high profile personalities in the persons of the former VPs Isatou Njie Saidy and Fatoumatta Jallow Tambajang and some prominent Governors, MDs and Directors.
