The Education Secretary of Agege Local Government Education Authority (LGEA), Hajia Jannat Arinola Olokodana-Bashorun, has passionately called on all Head Teachers, Teachers, Non-Teaching Staff in both public and private schools, as well as residents of Agege Local Government Area, to take advantage of the final phase of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ registration exercise ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

According to the Education Secretary, active participation in the electoral process remains one of the strongest pillars of democracy and good governance. She emphasized that every eligible citizen has a civic responsibility to register and ensure that their voter information is properly updated in preparation for future elections.

Hajia Jannat Arinola Olokodana-Bashorun noted that the exercise is designed to assist individuals who are yet to register as voters, those who wish to transfer their voter registration to a new location, persons with lost or damaged voter cards, and individuals seeking correction or change of names on their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

The exercise is scheduled to hold on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th May, 2026, from 9:00am to 3:00pm daily at the Agege Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) Secretariat.

The Education Secretary stressed the importance of ensuring that no eligible voter is left behind, urging education stakeholders and community residents to mobilize others within their schools, neighbourhoods and communities to participate in the exercise. She described the voters’ registration process as a crucial step towards strengthening democratic participation and ensuring that the voices of the people are heard during elections.

She further encouraged residents to see the exercise as an opportunity to contribute positively to nation building by obtaining valid voter credentials that would enable them exercise their constitutional rights during elections.

The registration services available during the exercise include:

1. Fresh Registration for first-time voters.

2. Transfer of Voter’s Card from one location to another.

3. Replacement of Lost or Damaged Voter’s Cards.

4. Change or Correction of Names on Voter’s Cards.

Hajia Jannat Arinola Olokodana-Bashorun reaffirmed the commitment of the Agege LGEA towards promoting civic responsibility, democratic values and community development. She therefore appealed to all eligible residents to come out en masse and utilize this opportunity provided by INEC before the commencement of the 2027 General Election activities.

She concluded by reminding residents that every vote counts and that voter registration remains the first step towards electing credible leaders and building a better society for all.

The visit, which brought renewed enthusiasm among pupils and staff, took place at the Oyewole Primary School Complex—home to five public primary schools, namely State Primary School, Ifelodun Primary School, Anuoluwapo Primary School, Progressive Primary School, and Unity Primary School.
Hajia Olokodana-Bashorun, whose appointment as Education Secretary forms part of ongoing efforts by the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board to enhance grassroots education delivery, engaged directly with pupils in an interactive session. �

Addressing the pupils, she emphasized the importance of education as a foundation for a successful future, encouraging them to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to their studies. She urged them to cultivate respect for their teachers and parents, noting that such values are essential for both academic and moral development.
In her words, education remains the most powerful tool for personal and societal transformation, and every pupil must take responsibility for their learning journey.

She encouraged the staff to remain steadfast in their duties, stressing the critical role they play in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. According to her, teachers are central to nation-building, and their contributions to the development of pupils cannot be overstated.
Furthermore, Hajia Olokodana-Bashorun convened a strategic meeting with the Heads of Schools within the complex. During this session, she requested that all school leaders formally document and submit the challenges they face in the course of their duties. This, she noted, would enable the LGEA to better understand their needs and implement targeted interventions for improved service delivery.
The visit was widely regarded as timely and impactful, as it provided an opportunity for open dialogue, motivation, and renewed commitment among all stakeholders within the school community.
In her closing remarks, the Education Secretary reassured all present that she remains fully committed to improving the quality of education in Agege. She emphasized that achieving this goal requires strong collaboration among stakeholders, including educators, parents, government agencies, and the wider community.
Her visit to Oyewole Primary School Complex stands as a testament to proactive leadership and a people-centered approach to educational development.

WORKERS’ DAY 2026 MESSAGE
Themed: “Insecurity, Poverty – Bane of Decent Work”

Workers’ Day remains a powerful reminder of the dignity of labour, the sacrifices of workers and the urgent need to protect the rights and welfare of those who drive the engine of our nation. As we commemorate May 1st, 2026, the joint theme by NLC and TUC is “Insecurity, Poverty – Bane of Decent Work”. This speaks directly to the harsh realities confronting Nigerian workers today.

Insecurity and poverty are no longer distant challenges, they have become daily obstacles that undermine productivity, threaten livelihoods and erode the very foundation of decent work. From unsafe working environments to irregular salaries and lack of social protection for many workers especially educators that are forced to operate under conditions that do not reflect the value of their contributions to society.

As educators, we are builders of minds and shapers of the future. Yet, the teaching profession continues to face neglect in terms of welfare, remuneration, and recognition. No nation can rise above the quality of its teachers and no education system can thrive where educators are poorly motivated and inadequately supported.

Decent work is not a privilege, it is a fundamental right. It encompasses fair wages, safe working conditions, job security, access to healthcare and opportunities for growth. Addressing insecurity and poverty is therefore not optional, it is essential for achieving sustainable development, national stability and social justice.

We call on all employers of labour—public and private to rise to their responsibilities:

👉🏼Prioritize the welfare and safety of workers at all times.

👉🏼Ensure prompt and adequate payment of salaries and benefits.

👉🏼Provide conducive working environments that promote productivity and dignity.

👉🏼Invest in capacity building, especially in the education sector.

👉🏼Respect workers’ rights and uphold labour laws without compromise.

A workforce that is secure, empowered and motivated will inevitably lead to a stronger economy and a more prosperous nation.

To all workers, especially educators:
Let us remain united, resilient, and committed to excellence. Let us continue to advocate for our rights while upholding the noble values of our profession. Our voices matter and together, we can shape a future where decent work is a reality for all.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Let this Workers’ Day inspire renewed hope, collective action, and a shared commitment to eliminating insecurity and poverty in our workplaces and society at large.

Happy Workers’ Day 2026!
