In a commendable effort to support education and contribute to the T.H.E.M.E.S. Plus agenda of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, has initiated an educational outreach in Somolu Federal Constituency.
The Commissioner visited his alma mater, Morufdeen Primary School in Bariga, along with five other primary schools in the area, to distribute ‘back to school’ educational materials. This initiative comes as the new school session is set to begin next week Monday, aimed at providing students with the tools they need to excel academically.
While Hon. Osiyemi was on a state assignment abroad with Governor Sanwo-Olu, he was ably represented by the Education Secretary of Somolu Local Government Educational Authority, Hon. Dare Martins. The event also saw strong representation from Somolu’s political leadership, including Hon. Williams Lawanson, Chief Wale Mogaji, Hon. Yomi Olubamido, and Otunba Shakiru Anifowoshe Dengel, who lent their support to the educational initiative.
Organized by the Sean Pee Strategic Team, led by Mr. Olakunle Ashiru, the event was well-attended, with pupils from S.S. Peter, Wright Memorial, Alubarika, Aiyetoro, and Oke Metta Primary Schools joining their peers at Morufdeen Primary School to receive the educational materials.
The distributed items, including exercise books, school bags, and writing supplies, are part of Hon. Osiyemi’s broader commitment to his community and the educational advancement of its children.
Prince Adeshina Adeeso, Special Adviser on Education, represented the Executive Chairman of Somolu Local Government, Hon. Abdul Hamed Salawu ‘Dullar’, during the event. He emphasized the significance of such initiatives in aligning with the T.H.E.M.E.S. Plus agenda, particularly in the area of education and human capital development, which are key priorities for the Sanwo-Olu administration.
School administrators, teachers, and parents expressed deep appreciation for the initiative, noting that the materials would greatly alleviate the financial burden on parents and ensure that students are well-prepared for the new academic year.
The support from both the Commissioner and local government leaders highlights a shared commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for young learners.
Investigator news reports that Hon. Oluwaseun Osiyemi’s educational drive, coupled with the active involvement of Somolu’s political leadership, underscores the importance of community-driven efforts in realizing the goals of the T.H.E.M.E.S. Plus agenda. This initiative not only supports the academic growth of students but also reinforces the collective responsibility of public officials to foster a conducive learning environment in their communities.
