    As part of his efforts to promote education in Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos, Adewale Adedeji, the lawmaker representing Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 01, has distributed 250 free GCE slips to indigent students. The initiative is aimed at advancing education in the community, with the long-term goal of making Ifako-Ijaiye the most educated local government in Nigeria by 2037.

    The distribution event took place at the Constituency Office, Unity Centre, Elliot, and was attended by students, educators, community leaders, and religious figures. During the event, Adedeji emphasized the importance of education in shaping the future, stating that the free GCE slips were a step toward providing every child with the opportunity to succeed.

    “Education is the foundation upon which we build our future. I believe every student deserves access to the tools they need to succeed, and these GCE slips are a small step toward ensuring every child can reach their full potential,” Adedeji said.

    He reaffirmed his commitment to achieving the goal of making Ifako-Ijaiye the most educated local government in Nigeria by 2037 and encouraged the beneficiaries to take their studies seriously.

    Under the Adewale Temitope Adedeji Educational Initiatives (ATA-EI), the lawmaker has provided 855 free GCE forms, 4,100 free JAMB forms, scholarships to 49 students, and has contributed to rehabilitating public schools in the constituency, among other educational initiatives.
