The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has linked poverty, inequality, and insecurity to the lack of quality education.
He stressed that this was why the state remained unwaveringly committed to providing every child with access to a high-quality learning environment that inspires and empowers them to dream bigger and aim higher.
According to a Thursday statement, Samwo-Olu spoke on Tuesday while unveiling another ultra-modern block of classrooms at Lekki Community Senior Secondary School, Ibeju-Lekki, and Idata-Ilagbo Community Secondary School, Idata, Ibeju-Lekki.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Energy and Mineral Resources, Abiola Olowu, the governor stressed the state’s investment in modern educational infrastructure.
Addressing the students of Lekki Community Senior Secondary School, Sanwo-Olu said, “This is your moment. Study diligently, stay disciplined, and make the most of these facilities. The future belongs to those who are prepared, and we are here to prepare you for greatness. Education will open doors you never imagined.”
He added, “These newly inaugurated facilities embody our vision for a progressive Lagos, where quality education is a right, not a privilege. With state-of-the-art classrooms and improved infrastructure, we are fostering a learning environment where students can excel academically and grow socially.
“Together, we can build a Lagos where knowledge and innovation drive our development and prosperity.”
The governor emphasised that his administration remained dedicated to ensuring students learn in facilities designed to foster excellence and innovation.
“We believe that quality education begins with quality infrastructure, and that is why we will continue to invest in projects like this to empower the next generation,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
