The Mayor of Mogadishu Lays the Foundation Stone for the Renovation Project of the Historical Central School

Mogadishu – The Chairman of the Banaadir Regional Administration and Mayor of Mogadishu, Dr. Xasan Maxamed Xuseen (Muungaab), today, Wednesday, laid the foundation stone for the renovation project of the Central School, which is one of the historical educational institutions in Somalia.

This school, built during the colonial period, before the 1960s, has long served the Somali community. However, the building, which has deteriorated and sustained significant damage, posed a danger to the safety of students and teachers, leading to the need for renovation and modernization.

The Mayor of Mogadishu, Dr. Muungaab, stated that the renovation of this school is part of the efforts of the Banaadir Regional Administration to improve educational services and ensure the safety of students and teachers.

On the other hand, the Chairman addressed the rumors circulating regarding the sale of the land of the Central School, stating that it is regrettable to spread unfounded news about this matter.

“It is regrettable to spread unfounded news about the sale of the land of the Central School; public property should be discussed based on facts and official evidence. The Federal Government of Somalia, led by President Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud, gives special priority to the development of educational facilities, and the renovation of this school is part of the efforts to safeguard students and improve education in the country,” said Dr. Muungaab.

The Central School Reconstruction Project is expected to improve the state of the educational environment, while creating a better learning atmosphere than before, by strengthening efforts to enhance the educational infrastructure in the Banadir Region.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by the Director General of the Education Department of the Banadir Regional Administration, Abdirahman Ali Mohamed, and the Chairman of the Shangaani District Administration.
