THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has started free coaching for pupils in Isolo Local Council Development Areas (LCDA), Lagos State, as part of its efforts to promote education in the area.
The free coaching is sponsored by the Olusegun Jubril-led council, in conjunction with the Community Initiative for Child Education and the APC Initiative Group (AIG).
The programme is holding in three centres – Gideon Comprehensive High School, Okota, AUD Primary School, Isolo and Kusoro Primary School, Ilasa.
Beneficiaries are primary school pupils, who are expected to devote part of their holiday to extra-mural classes.
A member of the group, Peju Taiwo, said the programme is consistent with the vision of the APC to promote qualitative education in Lagos State.
She said the group will also hold a workshop for parents and kids on September 1 and 2 to sensitise them on security challenges.
The theme of the workshop is: “Security challenges and the Nigerian Child in modern times”.
The seminar will hold in Surulere and Alimoso councils. Speakers include Assistant Police Commissioner Austin Akika, Pastor Deborah Folajaye, District Police Officer James Chu and Mr. Adeola Falowo.
Guests include House of Representatives Majority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila, the Osolo of Isolo, Oba Kabiru Agbabiaka, APC Chairman Otunba Oladele Ajomale, his deputy, Cardinal James Odunmbaku and Mr. Ganiyu Johnson, an engineer.
