“The foundation of every state is the education in their young minds” —Diogenes

construction of blocks of classrooms 

It is known that education is crucial for every child as they grow, especially as it concerns youngsters who are not so privileged in the pursuit of education and other life skills which gives them access to opportunities. No child should be denied the access to qualitative and premium education on the basis of the financial limitations of their parents or guardian. This is the orientation upon which the voice of the good people of Agege Federal Constituency, Hon. Dr. Samuel Babatunde Adejare Mhr   built his goodwill as it concerns the education of teenagers and youths alike".

Hon. Adejare strongly believes that a major point of call for all stakeholders in Nigeria should be the right of every child to acquire knowledge in a conducive learning environment. Hence, as part of his drive to ensure that every child within his constituency enjoys access to comfortable learning, the MHR facilitated the construction of 12 blocks of modern classrooms and staff office alongside proper restroom and water system at *St. Peter Primary School, Agege*. This gesture from *Hon. Adejare*, is to compliment the efforts of the Lagos State Government in providing premium learning atmosphere and environment to every young resident of Lagos. 

As the saying goes that to whom much is given, much is expected... The construction of these learning classrooms is another election promise fulfilled by *Hon. Dr. Samuel Babatunde Adejare*. He takes this as a consolidation of the mandate entrusted upon him by the good people of Agege Federal Constituency. 

The MHR is passionately enthusiastic about education and will not stop at anything to ensure that every child, under his watch as voice of the people of Agege Federal Constituency at the Green Chamber, gets quality education under premium learning conditions and topnotch school environments.

"There are definitely, more to come". Adejare asserted. 

Pupils abandon school as Lagos cult clashes claim 13

AgegePulse Magazine

Thirteen suspected cultists have been killed in the ongoing clash between members of the Eiye and Aiye confraternities in the Ijede Local Council Development Area of Lagos State.

Residents told PUNCH Metro during a visit to the community that they were unsafe as the cultists freely use sophisticated weapons in the Luwasa, Igbe and Ijede areas of Ikorodu.


Nine of the thirteen deceased cultists were said to have been killed by members of rival groups, while the remaining four were allegedly killed by soldiers, who gave them a hot chase after reportedly burning the family house of the Obateru of Egbin in Ijede.

A resident, Bayo Adegbaju, who stated that the frequent cult clashes were creating panic in the community, said two of the victims were pupils of a Junior Secondary School in the area, adding that other pupils had abandoned their studies due to the attack on the school premises.


He said, “In December, a cultist, Saheed, was shot in the mouth by rivals, but he was lucky to escape. After his wound healed, he and his gang had a clash with members of the rival group on Monday, January 20, 2020, and two of the cultists were stabbed in the stomach and chest. The victims were rushed to the health centre in Ijede, where they died the following day.

“In the early hours of Tuesday, some cultists used a machete to kill a rival in his house around the De-John School. I was going to work in the morning when I saw a crowd in front of the deceased’s house. I saw the head with multiple machete cuts and bloodstains all over the wall.

FG spends N49bn to feed pupils in two years -Presidency

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Presidency on Thursday said the Federal Government has spent N49bn on the feeding of primary school pupils under the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, a component of the government’s Social Investment Programme, in the last two years.
The Special Adviser to the President on NSIP, Mrs. Mariam Uwais, disclosed this to journalists in Abuja.

Uwais said 8, 596,340 pupils were currently being fed in 46,247 public primary schools in 24 states.
The 24 states, according to her, include Abia, Adamawa, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Niger, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, and Zamfara.

The presidential aide said through the programme, 90,670 Nigerians had been engaged and empowered as cooks while over 100,000 local farmers had also been linked with the programme to supply locally sourced farm produce.
She said, “We have created a value chain with significant economic benefits to the microeconomic development of the states.

“The value chain offers additional benefits of job creation and increased livelihood outcomes for both cooks and small holder-farmers, hence improving livelihood and the local economies.”
Uwais noted that government was having challenges with the implementation of the school feeding programme in Niger and Benue states.

She said already some officials in the programme in the two states have been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for the investigation and prosecution.

“The National Social Investment Office is ably empowered to suspend the programme in any state where the prescribed standard is reported to have fallen below expectation until a redesigned and realignment is achieved,” the presidential aide noted.

Uwais said the government has achieved 30 percent improvement in school enrollment in the country since the commencement of the programme.

She said while the Federal Government budgeted and appropriated N500bn for the 2016 fiscal year and the same amount in 2017, only about N140bn was released in 2017 while N80bn was accessed in 2016.


Other components of the SIP are N-Power, National Cash Transfer Project, and Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme.

Adebule advises students to keep abreast of global current affairs

AgegePulse Magazine

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Oluranti Adebule has called on pupils and students of public schools in the State to always arm themselves with information on happenings around the world as a way of deepening their knowledge and make informed decisions on issues that affect their development as individuals and group of people.

The Deputy Governor gave the advice at the finals of the Year 2017 Lagos State Government Current Affairs Quiz Competition, held at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

She explained that the State Government came up with the competition on current affairs because of the observation that there was a lapse in students’ performance in the area as revealed by their response to questions posed to them during the Science, Arts and Craft Exhibition and Talent Hunt organised as part of the activities marking the Eko@50 celebrations.

According to her, the world is now a global village and there is the need to keep abreast of happenings all around the world to guide the people in taking an informed decision on issues bordering on development.

“We stand to learn from scientific, technological, social, economic and political developments the world over, this will surely influence how we make decisions and respond to issues as they affect us as individuals and group of people” Adebule stated.

The Deputy Governor expressed delight at the level of improvement exhibited by the students, expressing the hope that the competition would create healthy rivalry to ultimately develop the standards of education among participants in the competition.

“There is no gainsaying that , Lagos State Quiz and Debate competitions have over the years produced many very brilliant students who have gone ahead to study their courses of choice in various institutions of higher learning both at home and abroad and I am positive that this brand of the competition will further help our students to learn fast and be abreast of the happenings around them,’’ she said.

While reassuring the public of the State government’s commitment to the implementation of sustainable educational policies, Adebule disclosed that 18 libraries in public schools have been renovated and upgraded to provide unlimited access to digital content on the online portal.

In a keenly contested quiz competition, Isaiah Joseph and Olaniyi Ibukun from Ansar –UD -Deen Senior High School, Falolu, Surulere emerged overall best winners in the Senior schools' category, while Lagos State Model College, Kankon came second.

Similarly, in the Junior Schools category, Adedokun Salamat and Adedokun Abdullah from Lagos State Junior Model College, Igbo Nla came first to defeat Elegbede Mustakim and Sholuade Adebayo of Aje Comprehensive Junior School, Sabo, Yaba.

In the Primary School category of the competition, Ireti Primary School, Apapa represented by Ajisebutu Samson and Ndubusi Edith defeated their counterparts from Federal Housing Estate Primary School, Victoria Island with a slim margin of 18 to 16 points.

The winners were presented with gifts and trophies to encourage better performance in subsequent editions.
