The holiday coaching, which targets primary school pupils across four centers in Epe, is scheduled to commence on Monday, 11th August 2025.
In his reaction, Amb. Ogunbanwo expressed his admiration for the Chairman’s vision and pledged personal support for the program.
“This is highly commendable, and kudos to the Princess-led administration,” he said. “I will definitely support this initiative by creating time to visit the centres and probably teach, if chance permits me.”
While praising the program’s scope and impact, he also called for an extension of the initiative to include junior secondary school students.
“I would also appreciate if the Chairman could extend the free coaching classes beyond primary level so that secondary school students can benefit,” he appealed.
“I understand that secondary education is the responsibility of the state government, but it will be a plus for the Chairman if she considers it—even if only for junior secondary school students—so that they won’t just be roaming the streets.”
The holiday lesson initiative will be hosted at four strategic centers across the local government:
- St. Theresa’s Primary School, Epe
- St. Michael Primary School, Epe
- Community Primary School, Erepoto
- Zumuratul Islamiyyah Primary School, Epe
