Concerns over the state of education infrastructure in Lagos State have surged online as Nigerians utilize the hashtag #TinubuLagosSchoolSeries to draw attention to the dilapidated conditions of schools built before and during Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tenure as Governor.
This online movement comes in response to a debate sparked by Reno Omokiri‘s assertion that former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to construct new schools, focusing instead on renovations during his tenure.
These schools suffer from rotten roofs, lack of ceilings, and insufficient seating, forcing students to learn while sitting on bare floors.
Images circulating on social media depict the dire state of several schools, including Oshodi Nursery and Primary School.
Other schools, Ajibulu Nursery and Primary School in Mafoluku.
School like, Science Laboratory of Lanre Awolokun High School in Gbagada.
Furthermore, schools such as St. Paul’s Primary School, Aregbe Primary School.
Mafoloku Primary School in Ilaje LGA, Methodist Primary School in Ewu-Tuntun, and Ilogbo Elegba Senior Grammar School in Oto-Awori LCDA are also reported to be in a deteriorating state.
These distressing images underscores the urgent need for investment in education infrastructure in Lagos State, highlighting the challenges faced by students.
