In Lagos State today, we are proud to say that we have attained a high level of quality in our education system taking into consideration the number of successes that the sector has recorded so far.
These achievements wouldn’t have been possible if
not for the valuable contributions of eminent personalities who at different
times acted as Honourable Commissioners for Education in the State.
These Distinguished Individuals contributed
immensely towards ensuring that we have a standard in our education system that
other States in Nigeria and regions in Africa will not only laud but adopt as a
model to reckon with.
The sector is recording huge successes currently because
it is steering clearly, learning from past challenges and accomplishments. The victory is also due to its innovativeness and passion to transform the sector to a
standard obtainable elsewhere in the world .
I present to you past Honourable Commissioners for
Education in Lagos State:
