LAGOS ONE DAY GOVERNOR MEETS FASHOLA

Lagos State 2012 One-Day Governor, Lilian Ogbuefi, on Monday, asked that a bus and a 250KVA generator be provided for her school.
During a visit to Governor Babatunde Fashola at the State Executive Chambers, 16-year-old Lilian said her demands would enhance learning at the State Senior Model College, Kankon, Badagry.
For winning this year's State Secondary Schools Spelling Bee competition, Lilian got the opportunity to be governor for one day, as is the tradition in Lagos.

Accompanied by some members of her cabinet, the One Day Governor commended Fashola for improving the state of education, transportation, security and road networks in the State.
She also commended the innovation that brought about the various academic competitions, adding that such programmes had impacted positively on the quality of education in the state.
“I can proudly say that Lagos public schools are the best and the students can shine any time anywhere,” she said.
In his reaction, Fashola added that the resuscitation of such enhancing programmes as the Spelling Bee, had proved to be useful building blocks of character.
He said the fact that Lilian was a product of a public school showed how far state-owned schools had gone in competing with the private ones.
Fashola urged the One Day Governor to continue to develop herself, adding that many past winners of the competition had gone ahead to become outstanding students and leaders.
He said some of the past One Day Governors had graduated from the University with First Class honours and some others with Second Class honours.
Explaining the objective behind the One Day Governor concept, Fashola said it would connect young ones to governance.
He gave a commitment that the list of requirements made by the One Day Governor for her school would be worked upon.
Lilian was accompanied by her parents and other members of her cabinet which included the Deputy Governor, Ireti Ogedengbe; and Speaker of the House of Assembly, Chibueze Jonathan.
