Technical Partner Wants Sanwo- Olu To Return LASGEMS

- By Gbenga Salau

THE CORE technical partner in the implementa­tion of the Lagos State Government Education Management System ( LASGEMS) has called on Governor Babajide SanwoOlu to re- introduce LASGEMS and ignore fabricated misinforma­tion of traditiona­l one- sided distorted file documents to discredit project, a technolog y driven solution systems that keep records and activity logs.

The Managing Director, Applied Services Limited ( APPSERV), Mr. Abayomi Erogbogbo, whose company was the core technical partner on the project, stated that the stoppage of LASGEMS has resulted in the dearth of data that could be used to drive planning and policies in the education sector. He said if not for the impasse about the project, data on LASGEMS would have become handy during the lockdown, when government planned providing palliative­s.

He further said: “I have confidence that with about two years in office, Governor Sanwo- Olu is more comfortabl­e with facts and developmen­ts to objectivel­y approve restoratio­n of LASGEMS glory at faster paced generalisa­tion for continued growing benefits of Lagos State, the successful­ly establishe­d education management backbone evolving with technolog y advancemen­ts, mobile technology inclusive. Surely, data gap necessitat­ed by past intrigues would be seamlessly and timely bridged, an inbuilt system facility.”

Erogbogbo, who commended Sanwo- olu for introducin­g Eko Excel programme into the primary education system in the state, said the programme is a welcome developmen­t, another major feat advancing learning and teaching.
