The Lagos State Government at the weekend said it would commence total upgrade of schools in the State, especially in the slum areas, as well as evolve a robust Youth and Senior Citizens’ Policy by January 2017.

Rising from an intensive three-day retreat for members of the State Executive Council and legislators from the Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly, held at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, with the theme, “Good Governance In A Recession”, the State Government said there was need to upgrade the quality of schools through training and re-training of teachers, as well as improving the infrastructure.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the retreat and read by Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District, Mr. Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, the government said participants were unanimous in their resolution to improve the standard of education across the State, particularly in slum areas.

Good move if they eventually fufil their promises
