The wife of Lagos State Governor Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hazmat, and the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Kazeem Alogba, on Monday, warned school boys in the state against getting involved in illicit drugs, saying it is dangerous and detrimental to human survival.

They spoke when the governor’s wife visited the deputy governor and the Chief Judge in their offices along with 200 boys selected from different secondary schools in the state on the first day of a three-day workshop tagged ‘2025 Lagos Boy Child Initiative Residential Workshop’ organised by the Office of the Lagos State First Lady.

The deputy governor told the boys to see their visit to his office as an opportunity to reflect on their future, urging the boys to take control of their future by concentrating on their studies and staying away from drug abuse.

Hamzat urged them to shun the notion that ‘Education is a scam’, adding that many wealthy men today, such as Elon Musk, are educated and successful in their fields.

“There will be challenges in life; it’s normal, but when you pray to God, he will guide you. You must say no to drugs. Don’t listen to your peers that say education is a scam. Education is not a scam. Elon Musk is rich, but he went to school, so you must be educated; it will help you expand your life scope. Make sure you focus on your schooling. Only God knows tomorrow, we don’t know,” Hazmat added.

In her address, Dr. Sanwo-Olu said her office championed the initiative designed to groom boys for purposeful living while building a network of future leaders and advocates.

She said the initiative has addressed many of the boys’ silent challenges over the years. The government has also taken deliberate steps to provide lasting solutions through workshops designed for the boys, their parents, and other stakeholders.

At the Chief Judge’s office, Justice Alogba urged the boys to take the ‘golden opportunity ‘ of the workshop to ‘rebrand’ themselves and ‘not make a mess of it.’

“Whatever you become is what you do with your hands and brain. Where you came from does not matter. It’s a golden opportunity for you to disabuse your mind that only children of the rich can become somebody in life. Make good use of your opportunity,” he said.
