Owolabi Jamiu Falana, permanent board member at the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), has embarked on an extraordinary journey to visit 100 primary schools across Lagos.
This immersive #100SchoolsVisit, meticulously planned and executed, transcended traditional administrative bounds, leaving an indelible mark on the educational landscape of the state.
Falana’s unyielding faith in Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s education-centric policies propelled this arduous expedition, demonstrating a commitment to comprehensively understanding the intricacies of each educational hub.
From engaging with traditional leaders to participating in school assemblies, Falana set a precedent by actively involving himself in classrooms, teaching, and conducting on-the-spot assessments. This hands-on approach defied the conventional role of a board member, forging deep connections with students, teachers, and non-teaching staff alike.
The success of #100SchoolsVisit was a testament to the collaborative spirit within Lagos.

As Falana traversed the diverse landscapes of Lagos, the lessons gleaned from these school visits became the bedrock for future policies. Conversations with school administrators, interactions with teachers, and firsthand experiences with students provided invaluable insights into the multifaceted challenges and triumphs within the educational ecosystem.
The journey unveiled unexpected narratives, such as the inspiring story of Temitope Batula at Oki Primary School, underscoring the transformative impact of this initiative.
Notwithstanding the adversities faced, including adverse weather conditions on the waterways, Falana’s resilience symbolized an unwavering commitment to providing quality education for Lagos’ primary students.
The success of #100SchoolsVisit, spanning months of meticulous planning and execution, sets the stage for transformative policies that will significantly influence the destiny of education in Lagos.
With dynamic individuals like Owolabi Jamiu Falana leading the charge, optimism reverberates through the educational corridors of Lagos, signaling a promising and comprehensive future for the schools touched by the #100SchoolsVisit initiative.
