Adekanye said: “Lagos State is very competent in handling these issues but there is a cultural and entitlement mentality that we must end as we all join hands to stop r*pe and all forms of domestic violence”.

While appreciating Mr. Governor for committing resources towards securing the lives and dignity of students in all public schools across the State, she equally commended the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo for always fighting the cause of the students and working hard to uplift the education sector.
