The Executive Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government, Hon. Wasiu Adesina conducted an inspection tour of five public primary schools on September 26, 2024, to assess and secure spaces for the installation of computer systems.
His visit, part of his ongoing commitment to enhance educational infrastructure in the area, took many schools by surprise.
Aga Primary School was the first stop on the chairman’s tour. Upon arrival, the school provided a space for the installation of computer systems, which Hon. Adesina approved.
During his visit, the assistant head teacher, Mrs. Lawal, expressed the school’s need for better power support, a request that the chairman promised to address.
In her remarks, Mrs. Fadiorah A.B, the head teacher of Aga Primary School, praised the chairman for his dedication to advancing education and highlighted the importance of students gaining technological skills in the modern world.
“In this jet age, it is crucial for students to have access to technology, and we are grateful to the chairman for bringing this to our school,” she stated.
Hon. Adesina, accompanied by key council members, including the council’s Head of Education Department, Mr. Adedeji Owolabi, Council Engineer, Mr. Oladapo Oluseye and Secretary to the Local Government, Alhaji Lateef Afini, continued his tour, visiting Holy Trinity Primary, Anglican Primary, and Ijomu Muslim Primary School.
Mrs. Godwin Omotokan Juliana, the school manager of Anglican Primary School, commended the chairman’s previous contribution of whiteboards to the schools.
She announced that the head teachers of the three schools—Ijomu Muslim, Anglican, and Holy Trinity—had agreed to establish Ijomu Muslim Primary School as the central hub for the new computer systems.
Impressed by the collaboration and feedback from the schools, Hon. Adesina urged the administrators to document additional challenges, particularly in the areas of security and power supply, so that the council could offer further assistance.
The final school on the tour was Africa Bethel Primary School, located near Ota-Ona bus stop. Mrs. Fatola, the head teacher, reported that the school faced significant congestion and lacked space to accommodate the computer systems.
In response, Hon. Adesina proposed the construction of a “legacy classroom” to address the issue and improve the learning environment.
The unexpected offer was met with shock and gratitude from the school’s administrators, who praised the chairman for his consistent support of public education.
“This initiative demonstrates my administration’s broader efforts to enhance the quality of education in Ikorodu Local Government through strategic interventions aimed at improving infrastructure and technological resources in primary schools.”
“Our focus on public school development reinforces our commitment to equipping students with the necessary tools to succeed in today’s technology-driven world,” Adesina explained.
