Osinbajo, who said this during a consultative meeting with members of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT, in Lagos yesterday, said continuous education for teachers was one of the core programmes of APC, adding that the administration would guarantee regular teacher training.

Osinbajo, who was elected alongside General Muhamadu Buhari under the platform of APC, noted that education and health would receive priority attention in Buhari’s administration.

Speaking further, he said as part of efforts at improving the welfare of teachers and other workers in critical sectors of the nation’s economy, the Federal Government would be embarking on housing scheme nationwide.

In his address at the interactive section, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said Lagos State has made a lot of progress in education, having moved from 10 per cent performance to 50 per cent.

He said the state was able to record achievements it has made in the sector due to his effective implementation of EKO Project.

He appealed to Lagosians to turnout in large number on Saturday, April 11, to cast their votes for APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, and other candidates of the party, saying the election was not about ethnicity or religion, but performance and continuity.

Earlier, Chairman of the NUT in the state, Mr. Adesegun Raheem, praised Governor Fashola for fulfilling all his promises to teacher in Lagos State.

Adesegun who pleaded with the Federal Government to invest more in teachers to guarantee development, noted that one of the ways to invest in teachers is making teaching profession very attractive.
