Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu Brings Succour To Expectant Mums Around Ajah Axis Of The State
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu during the inauguration of three key projects in Ajah, Eti-Osa Local Council Development Area (LCDA) shared some good news regarding education and the welfare of expectant mums in that axis of the state. The governor in his speech on Tuesday said his administration would soon be hiring trained teachers to strengthen quality education in its schools; adding that his administration would spare no effort to expand quality teaching to pupils in all state-owned schools.
The revelation came following the governor’s directive to the Ministry of Education to recruit trained teaching personnel and provide vital resources that would strengthen quality education across government’s schools. The projects include the 110-bed Maternal and Child Centre (MCC), a 12-block classroom junior secondary school and a rehabilitated Primary Health Centre.
Unveiling the school and the rehabilitated health centre, Sanwo-Olu said:
“My administration is not going to walk away from its responsibility of catering for the educational needs of every child that is of school age. We will give our children the opportunity to attend quality schools that will not be too far away from them. This morning, I gave a directive to the Commissioner for Education that all schools owned by the state government be equipped with well-trained teachers that will help us to deliver quality training to our children in line with development agenda of my administration.
“The charge to the commissioner also involves the provision of basic resources that would strengthen our schools and empower them to deliver the desired results we envisage in education and manpower development.”
The opening of the Eti-Osa Maternal and Child Centre, the eighth of its kind in the state, was replete with fanfare, as residents trooped out of their residents to welcome the Governor and members of his cabinet to the occasion.
Sanwo-Olu said the provision of the secondary health facility in Eti-Osa axis would reduce pressure on the Lagos Island General Hospital and save expectant mothers living in Ajah axis of the pain to travel a long distance for antenatal and post-natal care.
He assured citizens of the state that his administration would keep expending on the implementation of its THEMES agenda and the Executive Order signed by the governor within hours of assuming office.
