The Akeran of Onimoba of Moba in Ojo Local Government of Lagos State, Prince Aliu Adisa Rasak, has implored Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to establish a secondary school in the riverine community.
He spoke during the foundation- laying of the first secondary school in his domain.
The monarch said the community deserved a secondary school, adding that the children were being denied their right to education because there was no school in the area.
Rasak appealed to the government to help complete the school project and build more to make it easy for the children to acquire education.
He said: “Children in my community go to neighbouring communities for their secondary education because we don’t have one here.

This affects the concentration of our children as they risk their lives while crossing a river everyday to the neighbouring communities to attend school,” he said.
“I call on the government to assist us. I appeal to Governor Sanwo-Olu to help us build a secondary school in this community. We are begging the government to help us build this school we have started.
“The dream of the first secondary school is still far from being realised. This may be the situation for a long time if there is no intervention from the government and well-meaning people.”
