For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

 CAPACITY-BUILDING: LAGOS IDENTIFIES 5000 TEACHERS FOR TRAINING IN CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY


Building upon the commitments outlined in the Basic and Secondary Education Ministry's Ministerial Press Briefing held on Thursday to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration, the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) is set to launch a comprehensive programme of initiatives aimed at empowering its teaching workforce and fostering a dynamic educational environment.


As a follow up to the Ministry's press briefing, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Teaching Service Commission, Bopo Oyekan-Ismaila explained that TESCOM will train a first batch of 5,000 teachers out of its 18,438 educators in the State.


The Permanent Secretary said the ambitious capacity-building programme will equip teachers with the latest pedagogical approaches and subject-matter expertise to enhance the quality of teaching in Lagos State's post-primary schools.


Furthermore, in an innovative move to foster cross-pollination of best practices, TESCOM is designing an Exchange Programme between teachers in public and private post-primary schools, a unique initiative to synchronise teaching methodologies and create a more cohesive and effective secondary education landscape across Lagos.


Noting that technology is essential in modern education, Oyekan-Ismaila hinted that TESCOM is set to distribute 1,000 essential devices to teachers across the Education Districts.


Her words: "This strategic provision of tools aims to empower educators to integrate technology seamlessly into their teaching practices and enrich the learning experience for students."


Speaking further, the Permanent Secretary said a Teachers Conference will soon be held to serve as a platform for dialogue and direct interaction with the Ministry's leadership.


While expressing delight that these forward-thinking initiatives of TESCOM aligned with the Basic and Secondary Education Ministry's focus on teacher empowerment and innovation, Oyekan-Ismaila affirmed that Lagos State is unwavering in its commitment to providing students with world-class educational standards.
