In a bid to ensure teachers and students broaden their horizon beyond the four walls of the classroom, the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) in Nigeria as well as the Lagos Education District III, Falomo Ikoyi, have concluded plans to organize a first of its kind capacity building conference for learners and tutors in Lagos State.
The UNIC and EDD3 took a major step towards organising LAGOS SECONDARY SCHOOLS MODEL UNITED NATIONS (LASS-MUN), envisioned to be Africa's largest Model United Nations conference at a workshop for students and teachers recently in Epe, Lagos.
Speaking at the meeting, the Information Officer of UNIC, Mr Oluseyi Soremekun said; “at Model UN, you broaden your horizons. By learning and networking, you can be part of the UN’s efforts to establish peace, secure human rights and enable all people to live in dignity."
Over 200 students and 30 teachers from 22 schools in the Epe Division were trained on Model United Nations.
The Tutor General/ Permanent Secretary of the District, Dr Mrs Olayimika Ayandele, represented by a Director in the District, Mrs Odunsi, expressed the commitment of the District to ensuring the success of LASS-MUN.
In her remarks, Mrs Osobu, urged the students and Staff Advisors to seize the opportunity to be on the global map of MUN organisers.
