She stated this in her office at the weekend, while receiving the Guinness World Record certificate for the largest assembly of children reading with an adult, set on September 8, 2011, when she read with 4,222 pupils to set the new record previously held by the United Kingdom.
According to her, the present administration has remained committed to the development of education through the building and renovation of classrooms, provision of benches and desks as well as textbooks for school students.
“This has encouraged the students to read more and also reduce usual burden faced by their parents. More Lagos residents who lack formal education are now taking up mass literacy classes,” she said.
She said the government as part of its effort to educate the older generation, had also set up an agency for mass education to offer remedial classes for adults and older generation who are desirous of acquiring some form of formal education.
