Mr Fred Okune, the Lira municipal assistant engineer said the first phase of the five-year project will be implemented within three months.

“In three month, these schools are expected to begin shining with some getting fully furnished classrooms,” he said.

Mr Sam Bob Opio, the head teacher of Lango College, said: “Now, we are being relieved. We have been worse off with these old structures.”

“These students come mainly from low income and rural families to attend poorly equipped schools,” he added.

Lira municipal mayor, Mr Mike Ogwang Olwa, said the project came as a blessing to save the schools that were already dilapidated.

“An assessment was done and we decided that these schools selected be renovated because of the dilapidated structures,” he said
