The
Igbogbo/Bayeku Local Council Development Area of Lagos State has begun moves to
address the shortage of public primary schools in the area with the
construction of a 30-classroom smart primary school.
According
to a statement issued on Friday, the Chairman of the LCDA, Olalekan Aroyewun,
said the council recently flagged off the project at Zumratul Islamiyah Primary
School, Igbogbo.
Aroyewun
said the project followed an assessment of about 30 communities within the
LCDA, which revealed that many lacked adequate public primary school
facilities.
He
said the council decided to build not just another conventional school but a
modern smart school that would prepare pupils to compete globally.

He
said, “We discovered that there is no [adequate public primary school
provision] in Igbogbo/Bayeku. We saw the need to provide one, but we are not
building just a conventional primary school. We are constructing a 30-classroom
smart school that is 21st-century compliant and will prepare our children to
compete with their peers anywhere in the world.”
The
chairman said the three-storey facility would comprise 30 classrooms equipped
with modern learning facilities and digital technology.
He
added that the two-year project was designed to blend technology, creativity
and sustainability while equipping pupils with technological skills from an
early age.
Aroyewun
said the council was targeting completion of the project within 24 months.
The
groundbreaking ceremony formed part of activities marking Aroyewun’s first year
in office.
