Speaker
Obasa further tasked them not to relent as whatever they do now would be a
reference point for the coming generations in Lagos and Nigeria.
Obasa gave
the commendation and advice when the members of the board led by its chairman,
Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King, paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday.
Alawiye-King
had told the Speaker that the visit was to further secure the blessing and
advice of the Speaker as they carry on with the tasks handed them by the state
government.
Obasa, who
told the board members that the House of Assembly had always followed their
activities, rated them positive, while noting that LASUBEB remains very
important to the lawmakers and the state because of the role the organization
has to play in the lives of school children.
Informing
the team that the House earlier discussed the death of former Governor of the
state, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, with more emphasis on his achievements in the
educational sector of the state, he further urged the board members to continue
to cooperate and succeed.
“Let me
commend you for the job you have done so far. Thank you for the seriousness you
have attached to your assignments and your desire to see to the development of
the educational sector in terms of infrastructure.
“I have no
doubt in my mind that the members of the team will perform, especially since
the chairman of the board was the chairman of the House committee on education
while he was here as a legislator.
“This, I
think, has given him the leverage to see the nitty-gritty of education in the
state and how he can take advantage of the situation to excel,” the Speaker
said.
He advised
the members of the board to be their best in their assignments just as he
admonished them not to focus on the benefits of the job since what is more
important is the opportunity to serve and “write our names in gold.
“Everything,
no matter how long, must come to an end. And when it happens, it is our
children and those we leave behind that would speak about our works.”
While
praying for the team to be successful, he noted that the board has started
well.
