The Lagos State Government has inaugurated the Tolu Schools Complex in Ajegunle, underscoring its commitment to improving public education infrastructure and delivering quality learning across the state.

The upgraded facility, located in Lagos, spans approximately 11.7 hectares and houses 36 public schools — comprising 31 secondary schools and five primary schools — within the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area.

Speaking at the commissioning, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu described the project as a complete transformation of the education landscape, noting that it provides students with a modern, future-ready environment. He emphasized that the development reflects the administration’s resolve to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all children.

The event drew top government officials, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Akpabio commended the initiative as a strategic investment in human capital development and a blueprint for linking education with economic growth.

The revitalised complex features advanced learning facilities, including an ICT and robotics hub, fully equipped science laboratories, and a four-storey vocational skills acquisition centre aimed at equipping students with practical and technical competencies.

To tackle overcrowding, the government also constructed new classroom blocks and rehabilitated existing structures, creating a more conducive teaching and learning environment.

Minister of Education Tunji Alausa praised the project, stating that it aligns with national education priorities and highlights the benefits of collaboration between state and federal authorities.

Originally established in 1981 during the administration of Lateef Jakande, the Tolu Schools Complex has now been transformed into a modern educational hub, reinforcing Lagos State’s long-term investment in accessible and quality education.
