       Commissioner, others Call For IncreasedFunding Of Education
       By: Ebenezer Date: August 16, 2013, 7:30 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Lagos State Commissioner for Home
       Affairs and Culture, Mr. Oyinlomo Danmole,
       Senator Anthony Adefuye and a cleric, pastor
       Sunday Kalu, have called on the government
       to increase the funding of education in the
       country.
       They made this call at the 8th valedictory
       and prize giving day of the Viscum Group of
       Schools, Omole Phase 2, Lagos.
       Danmole, who advocated functional
       education, urged the Federal Government to
       do more for education in the area of
       funding.
       He said, “This is the only way to ensure a
       functional, disciplined society and nation
       premised on the fear of God. This is the only
       way we can build a nation we can all be
       proud of.”
       The commissioner, while appreciating the
       standard operated by the school, called for
       the sustenance of such.
       Extolling the strides of the Lagos State
       Government, especially in the educational
       sector, Adefuye called for effective
       partnership and co-operation between the
       public and private sectors.
       He suggested, among others, more regular
       unscheduled visits to schools to monitor the
       welfare of pupils and performance of the
       teaching and the non-teaching staff.
       Adefuye, who frowned on the rush to study
       abroad by some people, described it as a
       waste of resources.
       According to him, such children would still
       come back to live and work with their
       colleagues back home.
       He said, “Rather than send these children
       abroad for educational pursuits, it is rather
       very convenient, cheaper and rewarding to
       train them in Nigeria, where such
       investments would be very handsomely
       realized.
       The guest of honour, pastor Samuel Kalu,
       reiterated the utmost need for parents,
       guardians, and the society to be exemplary
       role models at all times for the children.
