The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) recently held a two-day programme to promote personal hygiene, self-development, and child protection among public primary school pupils.
Epe Insights reports that LASUBEB’s event, hosted at Christ Church Cathedral Primary School Hall and LASUBEB Multi-Purpose Hall, brought together pupils, teachers, and education stakeholders. The sessions featured career talks, interactive discussions, and guidance on girl child safety, hygiene, and empowerment.
LASUBEB Chairman, Dr Hakeem Babatunde Shittu, emphasised the importance of valuing one’s body and speaking up against abuse, aligning the initiative with Governor Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Education and Technology agenda. Facilitators provided practical lessons on hygiene and a dedicated helpline for reporting abuse.
Students, including Faridah Musa, described the programme as enlightening, gaining confidence to maintain healthy habits and protect themselves.
