The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, inspected the newly constructed Tolu Schools Complex in the Ajegunle area of the State ahead of its commissioning in the coming days.

Barring any last-minute change, President Bola Tinubu is expected to commission the 36 schools in the Tolu Schools Complex built by the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration.

The newly built Tolu Schools Complex in the Ajegunle community comprises 16 junior and 15 senior secondary schools, as well as five primary schools with a population of over 20,000 students.

The school complex is bordered by the lagoon and is built on 11.73 hectares of land. It has many sporting facilities, such as a football field, basketball and volleyball courts among other sporting and social amenities.

It is the largest school community in the whole of Africa.

Governor Sanwo-Olu during the inspection of the schools, which lasted for over two hour, reiterated his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, as well as quality and affordable education for Lagos students.

During the inspection, residents of Ajegunle came out en masse in appreciation of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s efforts with the iconic Tolu Schools Complex cited in their area. Students who had interaction with the Governor for a few minutes also appreciated him for building new schools for them.
