Nigerians question VDM's school project’s appearance
Several online commentators and human rights activists have described the structure as substandard, pointing to the physical blocks, roofing changes, and planter finishes.
Some critics have argued that the building looks more like a basic renovation of an existing facility than a completely new school constructed from scratch.
Others have compared it with school projects delivered by local politicians, questioning why a project associated with such a substantial reported sum appears modest.
