Ejigbo Model School, Ayo Adegbenga Primary School and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Primary School all in Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) were among the schools in Lagos State that benefited from learning materials distributed by Lagos State Government.
The materials which include bags, exercise books, pens and pencils were delivered to primary schools in Ejigbo through the office of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of Lagos State Government.
Receiving the materials, the chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, Hon. Monsuru Bello (Obe) who was visibly elated, said he was happy and felt honoured that his local council was among the others getting support from the state government.
He appreciated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration for the show of love and support to the primary schools in Ejigbo LCDA.
Also commending the gesture by the state government, the head mistresses of the schools who took delivery of the materials for their respective schools, said the effort was a good direction towards developing public primary education in Lagos State.
According to them, the materials are the basic things needed by the schools especially at the period when many parents could not afford such learning materials for their children.
They said the materials would also serve as stimulus for the pupils to embrace learning.
The Director to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Public Relations and New Media, Segun Fafore, said the initiative is in line with the governor’s interest and focus on education, saying the governor believes no child should be left behind in the quest to acquire knowledge.
He added that the governor believes that education is one of the tools to empower the youths “and that’s why he enabled the SDG office of the Lagos State government to help drive this vision of empowering pupils and supporting development of education sector.”
Also speaking, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the governor on SDG, Lekan Fatodu, said he was happy to see the turnout of pupils and the way they responded to questions brilliantly.
He also commended the initiative of the Lagos State government for making education atop priority in the state.
