The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) has appointed three new Education Secretaries to oversee basic education administration in Agege, Ikorodu and Alimosho Local Government Education Authorities.
The appointments, approved under the leadership of the Executive Chairman of the Board, Dr. Hakeem Shittu, were ratified during the Board’s Second Statutory Meeting held at the LASUBEB Headquarters.
According to Dr. Shittu, the decision reflects the Board’s resolve to strengthen leadership at the grassroots and improve the effective delivery of basic education across the state. He noted that Education Secretaries play a crucial role in translating government policies into practical outcomes within public primary schools.
He added that the move aligns with the Lagos State Government’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda, particularly its focus on technology-driven education and improved learning outcomes.
Speaking on the responsibilities attached to the office, the Education Secretary for Ikorodu Local Government Education Authority, Mr. Taiwo Odumbo, explained that Education Secretaries serve as the operational link between LASUBEB and schools at the local level. He said they are responsible for coordinating educational programmes, supervising schools and ensuring adherence to approved standards and guidelines.
The newly appointed Education Secretaries are Mr. Taiwo Odumbo Abiodun for Ikorodu, Dr. Aminat Olawunmi Ige for Alimosho and Mrs. Janat Bashorun-Olokodana for Agege. The appointments take immediate effect.
