Garba disclosed this in a statement issued on her official X account, noting that particular focus will be on riverine and historically significant communities.

“As part of our ongoing campaign for inclusive and equitable education for every Nigerian child, I embarked on an inspection tour across riverine communities in Lagos State, covering Ibeshe, Moba, Ojo, Olorunda, and Badagry LGAs”, her statement partly read.

During the tour, Garba inspected key education projects, including the Smart School initiative in Olorunda Local Council Development Area.

“Highlights of the tour included an inspection of the Smart School project at Epeme Village, Olorunda LCDA, where I reassured His Royal Majesty, Oba Kososko, the Kabiyesi of Iworo, and his people of our commitment to complete and deliver the facility soon to serve as a model of innovation and quality learning in the region,” she continued.

The Deputy Executive Secretary (Technical), the Chairmen of Badagry, Olorunda, and Badagry West LCDAs, alongside senior UBEC management staff, also visited Nigeria’s oldest primary school, established in the 19th century, alongside the Executive Secretary.

“Their presence underscored the collaborative effort between UBEC, local governments, and traditional institutions in advancing access to quality basic education in riverine and historically significant communities, and I am deeply grateful for their presence,” she stated.

She concluded with a message of unity and progress, stating, “Together, we are building a stronger foundation for Nigeria’s future.”
