Remi Tinubu donates 100,000 exercise books to Lagos public schools

Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, has donated 100,000 exercise books to students of public primary and junior secondary schools in Lagos state as part of her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) Education Support Programme.

Mrs Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, wife of Lagos state governor, presented the books on behalf of the First Lady.

“This gesture is well appreciated and will further support our students in their academic pursuit, enhancing learning outcomes. These books will be distributed to public primary and junior secondary school students through the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education and State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB), ensuring they reach those who need them most.

“Therefore, I encourage our younger generation you can become whatever they desire to be in life. Whatever you can conceive, you can achieve, provided you are truly determined to pay the price. I implore you to have the right attitude in all you do and strive to reflect nothing but excellence in academics and your day-to-day affairs.

“The Renewed Hope Initiative is driven by the Office of the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to complement efforts of the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Its scope spans across education, health, economic empowerment, social investment, and agriculture,” she said. 

Jamiu Alli-Balogun, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, said the gesture will enable recipients to learn properly.

“This initiative portrays the passion and love Her Excellency is noted for since her days as the First Lady of Lagos State. The Renewed Hope Education Program is set to positively affect the learning process with this gesture to pupils in our public schools. It will go a long way to support the pupils in receiving adequate learning with the required tools. It will also be a classroom support for teachers who will ensure the learning process is complete and impactful,” he added.
