The school is said to be owned by a 24-year-old lady who teaches the students without collecting school fees.
The man, @nsukka-okpa shared images and requested help from Don Jazzy. However, some netizens expressed disagreement with him seeking help from Don Jazzy.

Helpers have started coming
The nursery and primary school are surrounded by water; hence the only way children get to their destination for learning is through the use of a canoe as a means of transportation.
@Nsukka-okpa further gave details of what the pupils needed in the school, which included exercise books, boards, canoes, chairs, tables, and many more.
The school is said to have about 250 pupils and therefore needs expansion. From the post, many good samaritans have started to send money to the account details shared in the tweet.
