As part of efforts to meet the increasing demands for public education and improve the standard of education in the state, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola has approved the construction of additional 176 classrooms in the state’s public schools.

Fashola, who disclosed this at the launch of Eko Corps exercise books for students in public schools, which was jointly facilitated by Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Lagos Traffic Management Authority(LASTMA),Lagos State Water Corporation, Lagos State Internal Revenue Service(LIRS) and the Lagos State Signage Advertising Agencies(LASAA), reiterated the state government’s commitment to expanding schools infrastructure in the state.

Besides, he said the government is also poised to reduce the teacher to student ratio in classrooms and meet increasing enrolments especially from private schools and neighbouring states. The governor noted that the massive investment in education by the government in the past few years through the World Bank assisted Eko Education Project among others had impacted positively on standard of education.

According to Governor Fashola, the state government had in the last four years built about 5,000 schools, translating into about 250,000 classrooms. “ Even with this high number, we cannot say it is enough because of increasing demand for our public schools from private schools and neighbouring states. We thought we had to work harder to cope with the pressure on schools, that was why a few weeks ago, the government approved the construction of 176 public schools to further widen access”, he said.
