The Lagos State Government, on Wednesday day, reaffirmed its commitment to investing in the education to better the future of all children in the state.
The Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, stated this during the inauguration of Akinsanya Ajaloleru Nursery and Primary School at Oke Afa, Ejigbo Local Council Development Area.
He emphasised the state’s resolve to provide essential educational infrastructure that would shape the destiny of Nigeria’s future leaders.
He said that the facility was built due to the demand of the people of Ilamoshe community of Ejigbo for a public primary school in the community.
“The new school will ease the stress of long-distance trekking for children in the ward, who previously had no nearby public primary school, making access to education more convenient and stress-free.
“Also, they will be shielded from the risks of traffic accidents that come with crossing the road, thereby ensuring their well-being and safety.
“I, therefore, urge you all to take ownership of the newly constructed edifice and ensure that it is kept safe for the children,” he said.
In his remarks, the Lagos State House of Assembly member representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency II, Mr Oladipo Ajomale, hailed the development, adding that, "the establishment is more beautiful than the private institutions within the local council area."
