Ambode promises continued free education in Lagos

Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has promised to continue in the footsteps of his predecessor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, in the area of free education in the state.

Ambode stated this on Tuesday at the 2015 Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation /Chevron joint venture National Art Competition for Nigerian Secondary Schools.
The NNPC /Chevron Joint Venture (JV), in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education, initiated the National Art Competition for Nigerian secondary school students in 2005. African Artists Foundation (AAF), a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the promotion and development of contemporary African Art, is the implementation partner to the competition which creates a platform for students to exhibit their talents through their art works.
The competition which is in its 10th edition, saw both public and private schools across the country, put in to win the coveted prize.
Representing Ambode at the occasion was the Special Adviser to the Lagos State government on Education, Hon. Bankole Obafela-Moore, who said the state government, under the administration of Akinwunmi Ambode, is geared towards continuous funding of free education both at the primary and secondary school levels in the state.
Obafela-Moore appreciated the NNPC and Chevron group for demonstrating the spirit of corporate entity.
