Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has pledged to collaborate with the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to provide quality education across the country, especially in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu stated this on Friday during a courtesy visit by the Executive Secretary and Board Members of UBEC Board held at the Office of the Deputy Governor, the Roundhouse, Alausa, Ikeja.
The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, noted that education was the foundation of national development, and it must remain the priority of the nation, particularly states.
“In 2025, no child in Nigeria should be left out of school. Education should not be limited by region, culture, or tradition; it is a fundamental right. If we get primary education right, the future of our children will be secure,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu went further to state his administration’s commitment to partnering with UBEC to provide qualified teachers, proper security, and a whole infrastructure for the Smart Model School, built by the Commission in Lagos.
