Speaking during the inauguration, Sanwo-Olu said his administration was committed to fulfilling its part of providing first-class infrastructure in schools, as well as providing teachers who are well-educated to teach the students.
The governor, who was received by a large crowd of residents and students with his entourage, also charged parents to ensure that they engage their wards by talking to them to give them a well-rounded future.
He said: “These ambitious events consolidate our commitment to the development and pursuit of educational excellence and socio-economic development in Lagos. “Education, a cornerstone of our THEMES+ development agenda, is the engine that drives economic growth, reduces inequality, and empowers individuals to break the cycle of poverty.
“By investing in these schools, we are investing in the socio-economic fabric of this community.” “These newly renovated and constructed facilities will serve as a catalyst for change, providing our children with the tools they need to compete in an increasingly globalised world.
