Nurturing Tomorrows Leaders: Welcoming Lagos Students and Teachers Back to School

A New Session of New Possibilities

I hereby warmly welcome learners, teachers, and administrators across public and private schools in Lagos State back to school as they start another academic session. I urge everyone to embrace this new session with renewed hope, enthusiasm, and determination.

Education is the foundation of a stronger, more resilient, and prosperous Lagos. Our classrooms today are actively nurturing tomorrow's innovators, professionals, entrepreneurs, and global leaders.

Welcome to a new beginning and new possibilities. Dream boldly, study diligently, and believe in yourselves. The future you desire begins with what you learn today.

Celebrating Our Dedicated Educators

I particularly commend our dear teachers for their unwavering dedication, passion, and sacrifice. They remain our indispensable partners in building the future of Lagos State.

Every lesson taught, every child encouraged, and every unique talent discovered takes Lagos another step forward. I celebrate them and deeply appreciate the enormous responsibility they carry every day.

Building Future-Ready Classrooms

We will continue to nurture a stronger collaboration among government, parents, educators, communities, and the private sector to provide every child with quality, technology-driven, and future-ready education.

Our children are our single greatest investment. The Lagos of tomorrow is already sitting in our classrooms today. Let us give them every opportunity to succeed.

Here’s wishing the entire education community a peaceful, productive, and highly successful academic year.

"Education is the foundation of a stronger and more prosperous Lagos. Our children are our greatest investment, and the Lagos of tomorrow is already sitting in our classrooms today."

— Dr. Obafemi Hamzat
