He further revealed that the TV programme, “The Classroom in Your Home”, ” EKOEXCEL” which is aired on Radio Lagos 107.5FM and Eko FM 89.5 sponsored by Universal Basic Education Commission and supported by Lagos State Government has generated commendations from stakeholders.

The Chairman promised that the digital learning programme would be sustained to complement and reinforce classroom lessons when lessons resume.
