 Boys must be slow to answer and fast to listen, as it is the only way to pay close attention in class. Well, this was the submission of the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr. Ibicha Keswamolu, while addressing students of the closing ceremony of the three-day boy-initiative workshop held at Badere Lagos. A correspondent love Iku Koyedeku tells us more in this report. It was expository, educating and informative for these boys. About 160 of them selected from secondary schools, special correctional centres and orphanage homes across the state took part in the three-day workshop. The boys were taken through a series of topics ranging from security to drug abuse, autism, vocational education, media literacy, family values, and sexual and gender-based violence among others. We must confirm every video you see, every story that you get, every picture you see. You must confirm first before you forward to other people. Looking at you young women today, coming here through the knowledge or the active participation of us ladies is a transformational experience that involves all of us. The workshop was an essential component of the Nova Boy Child Initiative of the First Lady of Lagos State. It was designed to bring issues affecting boys to the front boner and profile workable solutions. According to the Boy Child Initiative, identifying with the Boy Child Initiative, we purposely called them into this meeting so that they see what the charge is about. They take it back into the different ministries. They take it back to make policies. They understand the challenges that we have. They're not new, manpower, capacity development, very important, the infrastructure to keep on improving it. Tapmost and Dr Ibidye Kesa-Wonlou's mind was cutting these boys young and making them problem solvers. There's nothing stopping our children from sweeping the floor in the morning, dusting the environment before they go to their classes, ensuring that their beds are laid. Any bed that is not made, that child has to come back. In their goodwill messages, officials of the Lagos State Government harped on the need for participants to show their social vices and concentrate on their academics. We ceremony saw some of the boys cutting away awards and other prizes. Love Ikuku Uyiduku, plus TV News.
