Executive Secretary of UBEC Dr. Aisha Garba @AishaMGarba embarked on an inspection tour across riverine communities in Lagos State covering Ibeshe, Moba, Ojo, Olorunda, and Badagry LGAs.
As part of our ongoing campaign for inclusive and equitable education for every Nigerian child, I embarked on an inspection tour across riverine communities in Lagos State, covering Ibeshe, Moba, Ojo, Olorunda, and Badagry LGAs.
Highlights of the tour included an inspection of the Smart School project at Epeme Village, Olorunda LCDA, where I reassured His Royal Majesty, Oba Kososko, the Kabiyesi of Iworo, and his people of our commitment to complete and deliver the facility soon to serve as a model of innovation and quality learning in the region. We also made a historic stop at St. Thomas Primary School, Badagry (est. 1843), the first primary school in Nigeria, where I emphasized the need to preserve and restore its heritage for future generations.
I was joined by the Deputy Executive Secretary (Technical), the Chairmen of Badagry, Olorunda, and Badagry West LCDAs, alongside senior UBEC management staff. Their presence underscored the collaborative effort between UBEC, local governments, and traditional institutions in advancing access to quality basic education in riverine and historically significant communities, and I am deeply grateful for their presence.
Together, we are building a stronger foundation for Nigeria’s future.
