Governor Sanwo-Olu who spoke during this year’s Children’s Day celebration at the Police College, Ikeja, with the theme ‘Advocate for children policies and actions that protect and support children’s well-being’, said his administration is committed to providing tools and developing skills set of every student in the state to excel in their academic endeavours.

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, told the participating children that his government is for them and will continue to support any initiative that will advance their course.

“Since 2019, we have been working hard to support you with many programs and initiatives aimed at protecting your rights and ensuring your happiness. We know how important early childhood education is for your future, and our goal is to make sure every child gets the chance to learn and grow.

“To help more children go to school, we have added nine new schools in busy and remote areas. These new schools now have 4,588 students, with 2,310 girls and 2,278 boys. We have also improved many existing schools, completing over 1,500 projects that include building, renovating, building, and providing new furniture,” he said.
