By Ismail M. Kabir To curb the rising spate of encroachment on public school lands in Kogi Central Senatorial district, an advocacy group, Proudly Anebira Forum has called for government's intervention to forestall the anomaly. In a renewed advocacy to save public schools in Ebiraland from extinction, the group berated the senseless encroachment and acquisition of lands within and around public primary and secondary schools across the community.

In their recent deliberation, the group recalled with regret the past efforts of Ebira People's Association (EPA) when it engaged the state government on the need to end the incessant encroachment of school land. Available reports indicate that Governor Yahaya Bello's administration has made inroad into the ugly development where a
