Completion of the Bamia Primary School has missed another deadline and Region 10 Chairman Deron Adams yesterday again expressed his dissatisfaction at the delay in finishing the building.

After being controversially awarded to entertainers and football promoters in November 2021, the construction was supposed to have been completed in July 2023. This was pushed back to November 2023 and when pressed during the budget debate this year, Minister of Local Government, Sonia Parag said it would be completed on April 1st, 2024. It has still not been completed and is said to be at around 75% complete.

Adams when contacted yesterday said that the project which was heavily criticized for its deficiencies encountered several setbacks as windows and electrical wires were not installed.
