“This locally-fabricated hand washing machine was donated by old students of this school and we have some other things in place and we have arranged the chairs in such a way that the students will be spaced.

“We have our time table already; we have adjusted what needs to be adjusted and we are ready to work,” he said.

He advised the students to make use of the equipment and also face their studies, adding there is no time to waste.
