According to her, she has recognised the needs of the schools and will spare no effort in fulfilling their needs.
She said, “I started where the future begins, our schools. From Irepodun to Alapere to Arowosegbe, I met with headmistresses, walked through classrooms, and listened. The needs are clear; These are not just buildings. They’re dreams in progress; we will act with urgency and sincerity.”
