The Chairman of Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA) has distributed school bags to pupils of Community Primary School, Otolu, as part of efforts to support basic education and ease the burden on parents.
Epe Insights reports that the intervention followed an observation that many pupils in the school attend classes with old or damaged school bags, while some were forced to carry their books by hand — a situation that negatively affects learning and students’ confidence.
Concerned by the development, the Chairman directed that immediate support be provided to address the challenge.
During a visit to the school, the Chairman personally distributed large quantities of school bags to the pupils, describing the gesture as part of the administration’s commitment to improving learning conditions in public primary schools.
While addressing the pupils, the Chairman encouraged them to study diligently, maintain good conduct, and make proper use of the materials provided, reiterating that education remains a top priority of the administration.
The school management was also informed that the distribution exercise will be extended to other public primary schools across Lekki LCDA throughout the week, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen basic education at the grassroots level.
