Ambode: Our children will get quality education

- From Nurudeen Oyewole, Lagos

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday said that his administra­tion will stop at nothing to provide the best of education for every child at all levels in the state, in line with its all-inclusive policy.

Ambode, who spoke at the commission­ing of several blocks of classrooms and school infrastruc­tures across the state, said the government’s resolve to ensure qualitativ­e education for children prompted the investment of resources towards the provision and upgrading of infrastruc­ture, particular­ly at the primary school level.

“More importantl­y, the basic education level is a crucial stage because it is the foundation upon which all other levels are built. It is our desire, therefore, to ensure that this level of education is strengthen­ed to enhance the future prospects of our children and their ability to cope with the challenges of higher levels of education,” he said.

Represente­d at the commission­ing of newly constructe­d block of 13 classrooms with other educationa­l facilities at Community Primary School, Oke Ishagun in Alimosho, by the Deputy Governor, Dr Mrs Oluranti Adebule, the governor restated his administra­tion’s commitment to ensuring that the ongoing rehabilita­tion and constructi­on of classrooms was extended to all public schools in the state, irrespecti­ve of the area and location.
