The statement said: “As we begin the 2024/2025 academic session, I want to extend my warmest welcome and best wishes to every pupil, student, teaching and non-teaching staff, and school leader. This new school session brings fresh opportunities for impactful learning, growth and academic success.
“Dear pupils and students, I encourage you to approach this year with enthusiasm, curiosity and dedication. Take advantage of the resources available to you, ask questions, and seek help when needed.
“Remember, education is the key to unlocking your potential, propelling your wings beyond impossibility, and achieving your life goals. Stay away from vices, gangsterism, bullying and drug abuse:.
Addressing teachers and other workers in the school system, Alli-Balogun said: “Your tireless efforts and commitment to shaping young minds are invaluable. These contributions are always appreciated by our dear Governor, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, through a series of dedicated welfare initiatives for teachers and school personnel.”
