"During a visit to the school by our correspondent on Monday, three bags of cement sitting on a table in the front of the dusty main hall mocked the concept of true civilisation. In another part of the white building – the conference room was a rickety table.
But the state of the library only epitomised the state of disrepair in which the larger BBHS has fallen. Despite the smell of fresh coat of paint on its structures, many classes had broken roofs and missing doors, leaving pupils at the mercy of the elements.
Like the library, many blocks of classrooms and other key facilities in the school have gone through episodes of renovation and remodelling. But even that effort has fallen flat.
This, however, is no ordinary school. Long before he bestrode the highest political office in the land, former President Olusegun Obasanjo sucked from the chest of his teachers at the BBHS between 1952 and 1956. But except for painting projects done by various club sets of the Old Students Association, there is no imprimatur of the two-time Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces there."
