A Word From The State Controller
Every child deserves a classroom, regardless of what their family can afford. That conviction is what brings the nine of us to this table every quarter — reviewing standards, settling welfare needs, and making sure every member school across Lagos State has a voice that is heard. Whether you are a proprietor considering membership, a government partner, or an NGO exploring collaboration, this Exco exists to serve that mission with you.
