Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday said he had sent one of his children to a carpenter’s worshop to learn vocational skills. He spoke during the maiden edition of Governor’s Education Award held in Lagos on Thursday.
One hundred and twenty six schools that distinguished themselves in the utilisation of the Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project (Eko Project) were rewarded with N2m each by the state government. The Lagos Eko project is part of the government’s effort at improving the overall quality of education and learning outcomes of pupils in the 629 junior and senior public schools in the state over four years.
Fashola told the audience that he was surprised that his son could not fix a plug after six years of sound post-primary education. “I called my son and asked him, what do you want to do now that you have finished your secondary education? He replied, ‘I want to do something with my hand.
“And I asked him, can you fix a plug? He said no. Then, I knew there was a problem and we (my wife and I) decided to send him to a carpenter’s workshop to acquire some skills,’’ the governor said.
INCASE YOU CHECK AND YOUR DAUGTHER DOESN`T KNOW KNOW HOW TO WEAR HER UNDEES SEND HER TO ME LET ME TEACH HER, i wonder d big deal in him learning handy work just like every other intrested individual. meanwhile i will appreciate wen you pple starts feeding us with the right information, teling lies in a bid to raise him higher will definetly not change him 4rm who he is atmost in d presence of GOD.
