Lagos State government has said it will strive for the attainment of high standard in education.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Olabisi Ariyo, who spoke yesterday in Lagos at the opening of the eighth edition of the Lagos Book Expo, organised by the Lagos State Television, said developed nations prioritised educational service delivery, hence the need for Nigeria to do so.
Mrs. Ariyo, represented by the Director of Administration and Human Resources, Mrs. Omolara Akin-Aderibigbe, said government’s initiatives were aimed at not only improving learning in the education sector, but also building the capacity of workers to deliver services to the populace.
She hailed the initiative of the organisers at reviving reading culture and for offering opportunity for books to be purchased at discounted rates.
The permanent secretary said: “Let me urge stakeholders to see this eighth edition as an opportunity to improve on their reading culture, bearing in mind that reading leads to information. I enjoin you to take advantage of the expo to imbibe the habit of reading books for your development, using the knowledge acquired for the country’s advancement.”
