4. Community Junior Secondary School

This one is slightly confusing. Google says Community Junior Secondary School, while the sign board says Community Junior Primary School. There's nothing like a 'Junior primary' in our educational system and the kind of students in the school confirms that if anything, the school is a 'Junior secondary'. It is also located in Choba.

Thank you @ckole Port is a nice place, it may compare to Abuja in some ways but I'm not sure, I've not been to Abuja before. The gov. has undertaken some major projects in the state. He'll be remembered for something at least.

Thanks for coming around and for reading my blog.
