Fashola, Wife Fete Children At End of Year Party, Charges Them To Be Studious

Dec 18, 2012 - Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) and his wife, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola on Tuesday hosted children at the 2012 End of Year Party with Governor Fashola enjoining the children to continue to study hard and be obedient students.

The Governor who spoke at the open grounds of Lagos House, Ikeja before a large gathering of very happy and enthusiastic children who were having fun also thanked the children for abiding by his advice to them last year that they should be up and doing in their studies.

He also commended teachers in the State for imparting knowledge to the students, adding that the results are already becoming evident in results being turned out at the school certificate examinations

He added that from the 2011 results when only 19percent of the students who sat for the exams passed with five credits including Mathematics and English, it has moved to 39.8 percent in 2012.

He stated that the improvement is only indicative of the fact that the administration is moving in the right direction just as the government is also improving the quality of schools, training of teachers as well as an improvement of hospitals and healthcare.

The Governor also charged all the mothers at the ceremony to become the Ambassador of the State by helping to look after the children and ensuring that for those who have not been immunized against the child killer diseases, they are taken for immunization.

He also acknowledged the contributions of public servants who assist the government in serving the citizenry, the Policemen who look after the people and make everyone safe, the firemen who keep Lagos safe and all the street sweepers who keep Lagos clean.

Governor Fashola appealed to all those who do not pay their taxes to do so in order to allow the children have more opportunities for recreation, to learn in the schools and more drugs in the public hospitals.

Speaking earlier, the First Lady, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola charged the children to continue to be obedient children and pray for their parents and the nation at large so that the country can continue to be peaceful.

She wished all the children and their parents a peaceful and wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year and hundreds of children drawn from across the state.

The end of year party was attended by the wife of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mrs Mayowa Ikuforiji, members of the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials and hundreds of children from across the State.

Fashola at Methodist Church Confab

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Thursday declared open the 43rd/8th Bi-ennial Conference of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, declaring that the unity of the nation and state will continue to be forged on tolerance, peaceful co-existence, mutuality of respect for faith and ethnic belief. Governor Fashola who spoke at the Hoare's Memorial Methodist Cathedral Yaba, where Christian leaders from the Methodist Church and other Christian faithful gathered said these conditions represent the sense in which the nation can harness the diversity that really exist in the nation. "If God wanted all of us to be the same, or wanted all of us to speak the same language, or have the same colour, he could have done so, but if he chose to make us different from that difference, then we can find fraternity and brotherhood and build a great nation", the Governor said.
