Our correspondent gathered that these schools is set to open their doors in September 2025, and will serve as vital educational hubs for communities that have long struggled with access to quality learning opportunities.
During a meeting with the Lagos State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Hon. Jamiu Alli-Balogun, at the State Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja, Rep. Raji officially notified the Ministry of the project’s completion and sought collaborative efforts to ensure a smooth take-off.
The lawmaker, accompanied by his Senior Legislative Aide on General Administration, Mr. Hassan Bashir, and Senior Legislative Aide on Media and Youth Affairs, Mr. Kaka Babatunde, emphasized that this initiative aligns with his long-term vision of expanding access to quality education across all disadvantaged communities in his constituency.
“This is not just a project, but a moral obligation to bring quality education to the doorsteps of children in rural and underserved areas,” the lawmaker said. “With these schools now ready, we are hopeful that no child in the Epe Federal Constituency will be denied the right to learn due to location or circumstances of birth.”
The visit, which he described as a “forward-thinking dialogue,” centered on critical matters such as the deployment of qualified teaching and non-teaching staff, as well as the enrollment process for students who will begin academic activities in the coming term.
It was gathered that the decision to build these schools came after a passionate appeal by residents in the beneficiary communities, leading Hon. Wale Raji to collaborate closely with the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to secure the necessary approvals and resources.
The goal, according to him, is to remove barriers to education and “level the playing field for children in communities historically left behind.”
Each new school will boast two blocks of six fully furnished classrooms, ensuring a conducive learning environment for students hailing from communities such as Oguntedo, Oregun, Ito-Omu, Gadangba, Ladaba, Idi-Afon, Ishan, Ibon, Moyopa, Orepete, Oriba, Lamudi, Oriogoro, and Mayunre, among others.
Recall that Eko Hot Blog reported that the outstanding Green Chamber lawmaker completed the commissioning and handover of newly built classroom blocks at Adeshowon Igbooye Community Secondary School, and also provided a total of 12 fully furnished classrooms across both Ilara and Igbooye Secondary Schools in Eredo LCDA.
