We are excited about our intervention; we are beginning to see the effect and the impact. We have done it for three years consistently and we are beginning to see the effect. Per salary, we are the highest paying in the country; we give teachers brand new cars. While the government has invested heavily in infrastructure, Sanwo-Olu has not lost track of education’s importance and is strategically revamping it. We are not giving one or two but 13 vehicles in primary, and secondary schools. They have extra lesson curriculums for pupils that are in Year 10, and Year 11 and you know what, we are beginning to see the result. According to Sanwo-Olu, “we have recruited over 6000 teachers and we are not just doing it for pupils. We have seen growth in the number of pupils coming back to our primary school from private schools and elsewhere.” We’ve given tablets to teachers in primary schools to enable them to have the same learning curriculum. You are taught about entrepreneurship, music, acting and cookery to make sure you are coming out with a rounded knowledge of what you want to be.” Speaking with the confidence of a man who knows he has facts to back up his utterances, he moved on to what his administration has done with secondary education. January 23 and 24 were landmarks in the annals of Lagos State under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
