The state governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, disclosed this at commissioning 12 blocks of classrooms at Ilupeju Community Grammar School, Ilupeju.

Sanwo-Olu also commissioned similar projects at United Christian Secondary School, Apapa, and Ipaja Junior Grammar School.

The governor, represented by the Commissioner for Housing, Moruf Akinderu-Fatai, cited research highlighting the impact of well-designed educational spaces on student performance.

“A study in the United Kingdom found that environmental and design elements of school infrastructure accounted for 16 per cent of the variation in students’ academic progress. This underscores the critical role that school facilities play in shaping learning experiences,” he stated.

He reaffirmed his administration’s vision of developing a competitive public education system.

“Education remains a cornerstone of our development agenda. The substantial resources we have invested in upgrading schools reflect our inclusive policy and our conviction that our children deserve the best. Our vision is to develop a public education system that can compete with the best in the world,” he added.

Highlighting the importance of secondary education in shaping students’ academic and professional futures, the governor stressed the need to strengthen this level of education.

He states, ‘’Secondary education is a pivotal stage that cultivates critical thinking skills essential for higher education and the workforce. We aim to enhance this stage to better equip our children for future challenges.”

The governor also noted that the state’s ongoing rehabilitation and construction of classrooms have reached all divisions of Lagos, ensuring equitable access to quality education infrastructure.

“These classrooms are a testament to your families’ contributions through taxes. As the primary beneficiaries, it is essential that you utilise them effectively for your academic growth and development.”

Also, at United Christian Secondary School, Apapa, the governor reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to education as the foundation of Lagos State’s future.

Represented by the commissioner for women’s affairs and poverty alleviation, Mrs Bolaji Cecilia Dada, the governor, stated that the newly furnished classrooms, modern science laboratories, staff offices, and administrative block at the school symbolise the government’s vision of providing a conducive learning environment.
