Education District II on Monday hosted the One-Day Governor of Lagos State, Miss Etiyemonu Esther of Lagos State Senior Model College, Igbokuta; the One-Day Deputy Governor, Miss Dorcas Oluyemisi Awoyemi of Ikosi Senior High School; and the One-Day Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Miss Jumai Olaide Salami of Angus Memorial Senior High School, at the District Headquarters in Maryland.
Welcoming
the contingents, the
Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary, Education District II,
Mr. Omotayo Layemo Sanni, congratulated the awardees on their outstanding
achievements and urged them to remain focused on their educational pursuits,
noting that they should not be distracted by the glamour of the moment. He
described their emergence as only the beginning of greater accomplishments and
encouraged them to aim higher in their academic and personal development. Mr.
Sanni also charged the parents of the beneficiaries to continue to guide and
support the students, admonishing them not to rest on their oars, as greater
heights still lie ahead.
The TGPS
commended the principals, teachers and Directors of Education in the District
for their immense contributions to the continuous academic excellence recorded
in Education District II. He noted that since the beginning of his
administration, the district has witnessed “a galore of laurels” across various
academic and leadership platforms. Recall that the 2024 edition of the One-Day
Governor was won by Abdulrahman Abdulazeez of Orisun Senior Model College,
while the 2023 edition was won by Miss Jemima Marcus of Angus Memorial Senior
High School — all from Education District II, a trend that is as a testament to
the quality of teaching and learning in the district.
He
further appreciated the Office of Education Quality Assurance and the Lagos
State Government for sustaining the One-Day Governor Programmes for over 21
years through the New Era Foundation of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Delivering her keynote address, the One-Day Governor, Miss Etiyemonu Esther,
expressed gratitude to the Lagos State Government for its unwavering commitment
to the growth of education in the State. She also appreciated the
Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary for the fatherly role and guidance he has
provided since assuming office.
She
acknowledged the resilience, commitment and support of her principal, teachers
and non-teaching staff throughout her journey to becoming the One-Day Governor,
and encouraged fellow students across the State to remain determined and
hardworking in order to attain greater heights in life.
