Apami primary school is one of the oldest traditional schools in Abako sub county in Ajuri county which is found in Alebtong district. But for years, it has been facing as serious challenge of inadequate and equally dilapidated structures.

On Sunday last week, the community breathed a sigh of relief after Tororo Cement company limited confirmed it is undertaking renovation of all the structures in the school, the nursery section and St Paul Apami church of Uganda as part of her cooperate social responsibility.

‘We will do the school, we will do the church, we will do some residential for the sister, we will do everything Rev Dr. David Azimale Omido   who represented the chairman Tororo Cement Limited said adding that Tororo Cement does a lot of cooperate social responsibility in the country.

Apami primary school is where Ajuri County MP Denis Hamson Obua went to for his primary education, the more reason he lobbied Tororo Cement to renovate it.

“This is where I started from, my primary one, some of us never had the opportunity to go to Nursery, that time all structures here had grass on top …………. I am proudly associated with this school because it groomed me and it has produced a government chief’ whip Obua boasted.

Meanwhile Rev Dr. Azimale pleaded with the community to ensure that their children stay in school after a facelift on the structures. He was assertive that parents have a role to play by paying fees and supporting their children with scholastic materials among others.

The school authorities of Apami in their speech observed that the problem of dilapidated structures was a huge blow but they are now optimistic that academic performance at the school will improve.
