As schools reopen across Somolu Local Government Area, the atmosphere is charged with hope, enthusiasm, and a renewed commitment to academic excellence. With the start of a new term, pupils, parents, and educators alike are looking forward to a season of learning, growth, and progress.
In a show of solidarity and encouragement, key community figures have extended warm messages to students and educators as they return to the classroom.
The Executive Chairman of Somolu Local Government, Hon. Lateef Ashimi, in his welcome-back message, applauded the efforts of parents and guardians in preparing their children for the new academic session. He also charged pupils to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to their studies, emphasizing that education remains the key to unlocking future opportunities.
Also adding his voice, immediate past chairman of the council, Hon. AbdulHamed Salawu (popularly known as Dullar), advised students to stay grounded by listening to both their parents and teachers. He encouraged them to stay determined and focused on achieving their academic goals, noting that discipline and hard work are crucial ingredients for success.
Joining in the call for excellence, Hon. Akeem Anifowoshe – CEO of Anisfield Nigeria Ltd and a 2025 chairmanship aspirant—delivered a motivational message to pupils, teachers, and parents. A well-known advocate for quality education in Somolu, Hon. Anifowoshe urged students to embrace the new term with purpose and enthusiasm.
“We want to wish every student in Somolu a fantastic start!” he said. “We hope this week brings new opportunities, a renewed sense of purpose, and a chance to achieve your goals.”
He went on to stress the shared responsibility of the entire community in creating a supportive academic environment:
“For all the students, teachers, and parents heading back to school, we wish you a smooth and successful term filled with learning, growth, and wonderful memories. Let’s make this a truly great week!”
The return to school, beyond reopening gates and classrooms, signals a fresh opportunity to set goals, overcome challenges, and build a solid foundation for future success. The encouraging words from community leaders serve as a timely reminder of the power of unity, support, and education in building a brighter tomorrow.
With ongoing support from leaders like Hon. Ashimi, Dullar, and Hon. Anifowoshe, and the collective dedication of parents and educators, Somolu stands ready for a productive and inspiring academic term.
