Jimi Agbaje Says Focus Will Be On Education If Elected - Part3

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr Jimi Agbaje, says he will focus on primary education, housing and transportation amongst other areas if elected in February's governorship election.

Mr Agbaje told Channels Television on Tuesday that huge improvement was needed in the education sector, stressing that the Lagos State government had not paid enough emphasis on primary education which was most important in the education of every Nigerian.

"We need to make Lagos work better. A lot of the education budget is spent on secondary and tertiary education. Lagos State has spent about three per cent on primary education and it is negligible.

"Children don't have a good foundation. Because the primary level is not working, you have children in the private primary schools.

"If you get the foundation right you will be spending less as you go up the ladder," he said.
