The Chairman, accompanied by top officials of the Board, visited schools across multiple local government areas, interacting directly with pupils, teachers, and school administrators. The visit aimed to assess the level of preparedness of schools, monitor pupil turnout, inspect facilities, and reinforce the government's commitment to quality education delivery.


Speaking during the visit, Dr. Hakeem Shittu emphasised the importance of punctuality, discipline, and a conducive learning environment. He commended schools that showed impressive readiness and urged those with identified gaps to work swiftly to address them.


"We must continue to uphold the highest standards in our public primary schools," he said. "Today's visit is not only to inspect but to encourage both our teachers and pupils to embrace the new term with renewed energy and commitment."


The Chairman reiterated the State Government's dedication to supporting teachers through continuous training and providing improved infrastructure and learning materials. He also assured parents and guardians that the Board would continue to prioritise the safety, welfare, and academic excellence of all pupils across the state.


The Schools visited include Military Cantonment Primary School, Military Primary School, Army Children School, Army Barracks, Army Model School, Nine Brigade Primary School and Brigade Primary School within Ikeja Cantonment at Ikeja Local Government Education Authority.
