The one-day Governor of Lagos State, Idowu Sonoiki, has urged Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to improve the welfare of teachers in public schools.
Sonoiki was quoted as saying this when the governor hosted him at his office in Ikeja, according to a statement on Wednesday.
The statement added that Sonoiki also called on the state government to “encourage teachers and improve on their welfare for optimal performance.”
Sonoiki praised the governor for vacating his seat for him and commended Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the originator and founder of the Spelling Bee Competition that produced the One- Day Governor initiative.
He said that the Lagos State educational system was worthy of emulation by all other states particularly with the Spelling Bee competition, which had turned the lives of many students around, irrespective of tribe or religion.
Sonoiki, who urged the governor to see to the clearing of the heaps of refuse in his school – Ikotun High School – also made personal requests for support to his family from the governor.
Ambode, in his response, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment towards improving the quality of education in the state as the springboard of any development of any nation.
He said his administration was favourably disposed towards making education a priority, just as he expressed his appreciation of receiving the guests for the first time since the commencement of this present administration.
He commended the one-day governor and his cabinet for excelling in various examinations that produced them as the representatives and occupants of the number one seat in the state for a day.
