Today at Lagos House, Marina, I shared the progress we have made through the Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity programme, supported by partners like the World Bank, UNICEF and the Universal Basic Education Board. We designed HOPE to focus on what matters most to our people. Education, primary healthcare, and governance. I am encouraged by the results we are seeing across all three. In education, every pupil in the early years of public primary school now has access to literacy and numeracy textbooks. Over 12,000 teachers are also using our mentoring platform to improve how they teach. We have also introduced free learning materials and an e-learning platform for junior secondary school students to support their growth. In healthcare, we have strengthened primary care by upgrading facilities and deploying 3,600 health workers to underserved communities. Many of our primary healthcare centres are now more reliable and better equipped to serve families. On governance, we are improving transparency and accountability at the local government level through training and stronger systems that support better budgeting and service delivery. These results reflect careful planning and consistent work. More importantly, they show our commitment to improving everyday life for Lagosians. Behind every number is a real story, and our goal remains simple. To deliver the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Today, I visited the newly constructed Tolu Schools Complex to assess progress ahead of its commissioning. This complex brings together 36 schools across primary, junior, and senior secondary levels, spread over 11.7 hectares. It is set to serve over 20,000 students and stands as the largest school community in Africa, with well-equipped classrooms, football fields, basketball courts and other modern facilities. Education remains central to our vision for Lagos and we will continue to ensure every child has access to a quality learning environment. I appreciate the warm reception from residents and the students I met. Your support encourages us to keep going and we remain committed to serving you.

Today, I was at Mobolaji Johnson Arena for the 2026 International Women’s Day celebration organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. This year’s theme, Rights. Justice. Action for All Women and Girls is a reminder that our work must go beyond words and lead to real results. In Lagos, we are focused on protecting the rights of women and girls, strengthening access to justice, and taking practical steps that improve lives. From supporting women’s economic empowerment to expanding social protection and promoting inclusion, we are deliberate about building systems that work. I commend Hon. Commissioner Bolaji Dada, and her team for their continued effort. We remain committed to creating a Lagos where every woman and girl has the opportunity, safety, and support to thrive.

I joined well-wishers at the NAF Conference Center in Abuja to celebrate Babajide Kolade-Otitoju on his 60th birthday and the launch of his book My Life and Journalists Hangout.

Today, we marked the 74th birthday of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by sharing food packs with residents across Lagos. We reached people in communities across the state including at Chapel of Christ the Light and Lagos State Central Mosque. It was a simple way to celebrate while also supporting families at this time. I also shared a personal message with Lagosians, reflecting on the President’s leadership and the journey we are on as a nation. I know the past months have not been easy but I believe we are beginning to see progress. In Lagos, we continue to build on the strong foundation he laid and it remains an important part of our story today.
