A member of the House of Representatives, Olajide Oseni, has urged the Lagos State Government to provide basic amenities in schools.
He spoke yesterday at the 14th Annual Inter-House Sport of Olokun Primary School, Ilasamaja, Lagos.
Oseni, said the government was expected to provide amenities to enable pupils study in a conducive environment.
He added: “But I’ve discovered that several pubic primary schools in Lagos lack basic amenities.
“Some public schools in Oshodi/ Isolo lack basic amenities such as good toilets, stationery, chairs and desks.”
Dr Uloma Ojei, president of Humanity Development Initiative (HDI), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), said they were in the school to add colour to the inter-house sport.
“Olokun Primary School is one of the grass roots schools. We are here to give the pupils a taste of what their counterparts in Montessori schools enjoy,” she said.
The Headmistress, Mrs. Folashade Ajayi, said the pupils were happy to demonstrate a practical aspect of health education.
