The establishment of a 4000-litre solar-powered borehole by the Victims Support Fund (VSF) in the school came as a huge relief.
The Fund also donated hand sanitisers, hand washing machines, and face masks to help the students and staff adhere to the Covid-19 protocols.
Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health, Innocent Vakkai, charged the residents to protect the project.
