Lagos Govt, UBEC Strengthen Ties for Quality Basic Education
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to partnering with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to deliver quality and inclusive education for every child in Lagos and across Nigeria.
Speaking through Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, during a courtesy visit by UBEC executives at the Roundhouse, Alausa, Ikeja, Sanwo-Olu stressed that education remains the bedrock of national development and must not be compromised.
He emphasized that in 2025, no Nigerian child should be out of school, adding that education is not bound by region or culture but is a fundamental right.
“If we get primary education right, the future of our children will be secure,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu assured that Lagos would provide qualified teachers, adequate security, and full infrastructure support for UBEC’s Smart Model School in Badagry, while also encouraging peer review and knowledge sharing among states to replicate best practices nationwide.
UBEC’s Executive Secretary, Aisha Garba, praised Lagos for leading in education outcomes, noting that the Badagry Smart School—equipped with modern facilities like computers and interactive boards—could accommodate nearly 1,000 students. She called for state support to sustain the project and highlighted the role of private sector partnerships in driving improved learning nationwide.
The governor further called for data-driven planning, special-needs focus, and routine health checks for pupils to ensure that no child is left behind.
