He described the digitalized modular school as a future of Pueblo schools in Lagos, Nigeria, and Africa in general. This is a Vetland Junior Grammar School in Agigi. The school was carved out of the existing Vetland Grammar School and officially took off on 6th January 2003.

He described the modular school as a milestone on the journey, towards ensuring that no child is left behind in Lagos State. This is the future of public school in Lagos. This is the future of public school in Nigeria. We believe this will be the future of public school in Africa. In terms of some numbers, our administration so far, we've constructed over 800 new classroom blocks in public school system. While we're completing rehabilitation of about 200 primary schools and secondary schools, all within the next couple of weeks. We've also added about 180,000 units of furniture that have been supplied across all the six educational districts in the state. Commission of Education for Lashadi Adevisayo thanked Sawulu for keeping his promise of increasing the ministry's yearly projectory allocation. She described the Vetland modular building as one for ages. This building is unique. But it's unique again because for me as an educationist, I love nice buildings. I want the children to be nice buildings. But for me it's always about the teaching and learning. What is going on inside the school? And in this school in each classroom we have a smart whiteboard. We have tablets for the children. The teachers clock in using biometrics. And what this is going to do is that we are moving our children into the 21st century. Chairman of the Special Committee of Rehabilitation of Public Schools, Hakim Smith noted that a new intermodal containerized building would encourage hybrid learning. He said pupils can learn remotely because of the type of technology deployed in the school. In 10 years from now, the kids from Vetland are the ones who will digitize your civil service. It will be native to them. It will be native to them. It will be what they are used to doing from day one already. They will be the corporate leaders tomorrow who are going to be solving with critical thinking skills that they will learn in this classroom, solving problems for legal state. They will be the inventors in two years from now, from the technology they have here. When you bring traditional learning into modern day technology, you have them at your fingertips. They are interested, they come alive. And then this solution, this technology sitting in this classroom, allows them to interact with the teacher. There's room for critical thinking. There's room for creativity. So it's not just the teacher talking and talking and writing. Now they are actively involved. You can see that a lot of all of the pupils have a PC. Everything going on on the screen is replicated on their PC. So they get to interact and collaborate. They containerized modular school building comprises nine regular classrooms, three laboratories, and four staff rooms, all solar powered.

The project, according to Sawunlu, is a testament to his administration's commitment to providing affordable housing for Lagosians. Though Greater Lagos LBIC Apartments comprise two, three bedroom flats and four units of the four-bedroom masonets, it is a joint venture arrangements involving Lagos Building Investment Company, PLC, and RPDC Limited. Governor Sawunlu, in fulfilment of his administration's promise, handed over keys to 14 families that were displaced as a result of the construction of the Aggegi Penn Cinema with no payment or charges. For us, this is not only about the affordability of the housing, but also about, it's not only about the availability, but it's also about the affordability. We're concerned about ensuring that not only are the houses reasonably priced but that they're also creative in financing mechanisms that give people the capacity and the convenience to pay based on their future earnings and incomes. And so it is our quest to provide decent yet affordable accommodation to the people of the state. We have an enclosed partnership with the private sector. Today, in just about three years, we've handed over almost 4,000 housing units across the state. Sawunlu disclosed that since the inception of his administration, it has commissioned not less than 15 affordable and decent housing projects and delivered more than 3,526 housing units across the state, noting that the ongoing land reform was his commitment to addressing the challenge of housing deficit in Lagos state. He said the Grisalagos LBIC Apartments are an example of what is possible in this regard. We've given a lot of land to some of our big developed parts to also help them so that we can monitor and they can help us also ensure that we can activate housing needs to a lot of our citizens. Indeed, our view has always been that the most efficient way to address the housing challenge we face as a mega city is for governments to enable and empower the private sector to also deploy adequate capital in this area. It is true meaning of public-private partnership, each player bringing its strengths to bear to deliver a sustainable project that benefits the people and the state. And you see the Lagos, the Greater Lagos LBIC Apartments is an example of that testament. And so it is my pleasure to announce and to be able to hand over to the 14 families that were displayed because of the construction of a very iconic Aegean Peninsula bridge. We now have accommodated all of them under this scheme and that their flats will be allocated to them here today at no cost at all. And so I would like to use this medium to appeal to all of our housing agencies, all of them, most of them are here to continue to engage robustly with the private sector as well as other stakeholders to jointly address the housing deficit in our mega city of Lagos state. Our expectation is that within a couple of months, LBIC which is one of your primary role and I've talked to them again and I'm sure maybe next month or the month after, they should be handing over about 320 units in the world of it. They should be completing about 360 units in Obeleoniewala in Suruliri. They should be completing another 64 units at Olalehe in Niponri. They show that at an advanced stage of 132 units at Ikeja. And they also have very advanced stage with shopping malls they have at Leki and Ikeja. I think LBIC deserves a round of applause. I'm sure if I should roll out the one for LSDPC, they also have a lot that I'm aware of. They have houses that are built in Ilupeju, in Victoria Island, in Suruliri, in Oba. That's for LSDPC. And for Minister of Housing, we're waiting for you. I know you are the bigger boys there. You have in Bagada, you have in Kuruju, you have in Epe. So let's just wrap it up. Let's have all of those houses. In his address, the managing director, Lagos Building Investment Company, Uluwatu Biloba Lawa, said Governor Sowonlu's commitment in ensuring that a housing deficit in Lagos State is reduced and affordable to Lagosians is commendable. The highlight of this event is the magnitude of our damage to Governor to reallocate and hand over keys to families that were displayed as a result of the construction of a gay gay pen cinema bridge. These parts are to be given free with no cost. This is another expression of this administration on common compassion and strong determination to meet yearnings and aspirations of the group of Lagos State. It is important to note that the project to be commissioned was achieved as a result of collaboration with RPDC Limited, which is a construction company. The scheme comprises of 48 units of two and three bedroom flat. Also, four units of four bedroom mycelinite. May I seize this opportunity to thank the management of RPDC Limited for a job well done. Speaking on behalf of the 14 families who were allocated apartments in the Greater Lagos LBIC Apartments, Mrs Esther Ogumbajo recalled that about five years ago, their flasks were demolished for the pen cinema bridge. We protest and we fight with the government, but because his excellency has a listing here, he called us to a round table talk. He promised to build another flat for us, although we did not believe him, but we are here today to collect the keys to our appointment. Today our joy has no measure, but the special grace of God, COP 2023, we promise you the fault of everyone in this community. This is a clear evidence. His excellency will deliver his manifesto. We wish you success in the forthcoming election in 2023. She commanded Governor Sawoon Lufo fulfilling his promise to compensate them, promising that the residents will vote en masse to relax the governor during the next governorship election. That's all we have for you in this episode of the Greater Lagos Vision on Plus TV Africa. I'm Lovie Kuku Oyeduku. Bye for now.
