Ifako-Ijaiye To Become Most Educated In Lagos, Lawmaker Vows

 

A Lagos lawmaker, Hon. Adewale Temitope, has vowed to ensure the fulfilment of his promise to make Ifako-Ijaiye the most educated part of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

Adewale, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye constituency 1 at the Lagos State House of Assembly, says he has distributed over 4000 JAMB forms and another 1,200 GCE forms to students within the constituency with free tutorial classes for a total of 8716 candidates for the examinations.

Speaking while giving out 250 GCE forms to another set of beneficiaries on Wednesday, the lawmaker said he had facilitated the admission of 857 students into various tertiary institutions across the country while 49 outstanding students are beneficiaries of his scholarship scheme.

“Currently, 615 adults are in adult education programmes. It is exciting to note that out of this figure, 50 outstanding adults have been registered for the NECO exams.

“We have also renovated the Ogundimu Primary School, the Fagba Grammar School (junior) complex and the Bishop Oluwole Complex School.

“Beside these, we have given out thousands of school materials and books to pupils and students and facilitated employment for qualified residents of the constituency. These are all done under the Adewale Temitope Adedeji Educational Initiatives (ATA-EI) which has metamorphosed into a foundation,” he said.

Stressing the need to make education a major means for societal growth, the lawmaker added: “I believe every student deserves access to the tools they need to succeed and these GCE slips are a small step towards ensuring that every child can reach his full potential.

“In Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1, our goal remains the same – to make this local government the most educated in Nigeria in the near future. We are on the right track to achieve this and I once again assure you that I remain committed to this goal.”

He advised the beneficiaries of the GCE forms to be serious with their studies and be successful in their exams.
