Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, on Thursday, charged teachers participating in the Excel training programme to help create the right future for their pupils.
Sanwo-Olu paid the teachers a visit at their centre in CMS Primary School, Bariga, Lagos, where 2400 of them were undergoing training.
He charged the teachers to take their jobs seriously and be ready to show love to the children, as they are leaders of the future.
“We are embarking on this training because we believe you would deliver to your pupils the right techniques of learning and thereby make them useful to themselves and their society.
“We believe that primary schools are the first critical stage to nurture our youths, hence the reason our administration is investing in them.
“We want to see an output that will propel us together; so please open your hearts and be ready to enhance your productivity,” he said.
The governor also urged the teachers to ensure they make the children happy when they come to school.
He said that the training was just one among many reforms that his administration would embark upon at the primary school level, which is the first critical level.
