Obasa Hails Kehinde Joseph’s School Building Donation As Model Of Effective Representation
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa has commended Hon. Kehinde Olaide Joseph, the Alimosho Constituency II lawmaker, for building and donating a well-equipped block of classrooms to Abaranje Secondary School in the Ikotun area of the state, describing the gesture as a perfect example of effective representation and commitment to community development.
At the commissioning ceremony on Saturday, April 18, Speaker Obasa said the classroom block will substantially improve teaching and learning, inspire hope, and the pursuit of excellence among students.
He lauded Hon. Joseph for prioritising education and youth development, adding that he had demonstrated what effective representation truly means by going beyond just legislation to deliver tangible infrastructure that directly impacts the lives of the people.
“The commissioning of this state-of-the-art facility today underscores the power of purposeful leadership. You have not just invested in brick and mortar; you have invested in the lives of many young people who will benefit from this invaluable access to quality education in an improved learning environment.
“I commend your thoughtfulness, passion for societal growth, and investment in this generational project, which underscores in no small measure your commitment to the advancement of education and the development of our communities. It also reinforces our collective resolve as a legislature to support initiatives that transform lives and build lasting legacies in every constituency across Lagos State,” he said.
The Speaker noted that the naming of the school after Mrs Tinubu is a fitting tribute to her passion for education, human capacity development, and youth empowerment through the Renewed Hope Initiative.
He reaffirmed the Lagos State House of Assembly’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote quality education and grassroots development across all constituencies and urged other public office holders to emulate such selfless service to the people.
In his address, Hon. Joseph said, “This project is a direct extension of Senator (Mrs) Oluremi Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Initiative, which has consistently prioritised education through scholarships, digital learning centres, and various interventions that are giving Nigerian children renewed hope for a brighter future.”
Hon. Joseph added that he hopes that his modest effort will engender a renewed sense of excellence among the youths and further equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute meaningfully to national development.
