[/size]

The Lagos State Government has promised to build a model college in Eti-Osa Local Government Area as soon as it is able to access land in the axis.

This was disclosed by the state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, during the commemoration of his 1,200 days in office at Akande Dahunsi Memorial School, Osborme Road Ikoyi.

Represented by his deputy, Mrs. Sarah Sosan, the governor revealed that a major challenge facing the provision of the model college was the acquisition of land for that purpose, but was quick to assure that government was doing everything to ensure that the school was provided in that locality.

On teachers' welfare and falling standard of education in the country, the governor revealed that his administration was determined to ensure that teachers' welfare was paramount while taking decisions affecting educational issues.

Fashola also said that infrastructure have either been built or rehabilitated in schools, adding that government would continue to provide free books and lockers, while making education free at secondary school level.

The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Supo Shasore, while making a presentation of government's achievements and challenges over the last 100 days, stressed that several projects cutting across roads, works, infrastructures, health, education cleaner environment transportation and rural development have been carried out in various part of the state.

The commissioner gave the assurance that government would continue to develop its housing policy by ensuring that people have access to mortgage facilities while at the same time increasing housing stocks.

Sasore also gave the assurances that government would continue to develop roads and infrastructure, provide employments, clean up Lagos, while involving stakeholders in the determination of the people-oriented programmes.

the govt found it very easy to lock out these people when it was 'privatising the roads leading to their villages yet it is finnding it difficult to acquire land to build a school in an area where there is none, no water no electricity
so if they didn't protest the Lekki express way they wont be getting anything

My people. While you can never have too many schools, Eti-Osa local govt already has a "model college" in Badore. It is now derelict and no where resembling what it was when I attended it. Instead of land acquisition(a.k.a. make-we-chop-government-money) why can't Fash renovate and expand an already existing model college?
