The Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area, Lagos State, Adetola Abubakar, has distributed 300 free General Certificate Examination forms to school leavers within the council.
The presentation, held on Thursday at the council’s Multipurpose Hall, followed a screening exercise for the beneficiaries.
Abubakar said the initiative was part of her administration’s commitment to removing barriers to education and creating equal opportunities for young people.
A statement issued after the event noted that the gesture aligns with her government’s focus on inclusive governance, with education and youth empowerment at the centre of its policies.
“The programme further reaffirms her administration’s passion for youth empowerment and educational development—a commitment that continues to place Agboyi-Ketu LCDA on a progressive path,” the statement read.
Abubakar, who previously served as Supervisor for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, was elected council chairman on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
In the last council election, she secured 42,770 votes to defeat Mr. Salami Taofeek of the Peoples Democratic Party, who polled 1,400 votes, and Mr. Shoyemi Tolulope of the Labour Party, who scored 962 votes.
