Work to rebuild the facility began almost two months ago when the contractor moved back to site shortly after the rains, which was a major challenge to the progress of work. Heavy rains this season disrupted efforts being made by authorities to fix the damaged excess water channel that was destroyed in 2019. The rains caused a spillage resulting in a massive destruction of progress made and eventually compelled the contractor to suspend work. The rains damaged the foundation of the retaining walls as they were being erected and the meticulously compacted floor.
