The Education Family of the Local Government Education Authority (LGEA), Ikorodu, is pleased to announce that the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) has yesterday granted formal approval for Sixteen (16) new vocational centres across the Division, bringing skill-based education within reach of every Local Council Development Area under our jurisdiction.

The approval follows a period of sustained advocacy led by the Education Secretary, Alhaji Taiwo Abiodun Odumbo, whose commitment to reviving the psychomotor domain of basic education prompted a comprehensive review of vocational infrastructure across Ikorodu Division. 

That review revealed a longstanding imbalance: while Ikorodu Central enjoyed the full complement of Art & Craft, Home Economics, and Computer Literacy centres, Ikorodu North LCDA had none, and Imota, Ijede, Ikorodu West, and Igbogbo/Baiyeku each lacked one or more centre types; a gap that placed an unfair burden on pupils and teachers required to travel outside their localities to access practical training.

Acting on this finding, the Education Secretary developed a proposal for a balanced and division-wide coverage which was submitted to LASUBEB for consideration. That proposal has now received the Board's approval, authorising the following Centres:

1. Art & Craft Centre, AUD Primary School, Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA 

2. Art & Craft Centre, AUI Primary School, Ijede LCDA 

3. Art & Craft Centre, UPE Primary School, Ajaguro, Ikorodu West LCDA 

4. Art & Craft Centre, Anglican Primary School, Akaun, Ikorodu North LCDA 

5. Art & Craft Centre, Jamahatul Islamiyah Primary School, Ikorodu LG

6. Art & Craft Centre, AUD Primary School, Imota LCDA

7. Home Economics Centre, St. John Anglican Primary School, Imota LCDA 

8. Home Economics Centre, Anglican Primary School, Ijede LCDA 

9. Home Economics Centre, Farm Settlement Primary School, Odogunyan , Ikorodu North LCDA

10. Home Economics Centre, Togedejoye Community Primary School, Ojokoro, Ikorodu West LCDA

11. Home Economics Centre, UAMC Eleja Primary School, Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA  

12. Computer Centre, Anglican Primary School, Isawo, Ikorodu West LCDA 

13. Computer Centre, C&S Primary School, Majidun, Ikorodu West LCDA 

14. Computer Centre, Methodist Primary School, Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA

15. Computer Centre, CPS Primary School, Mowo-Nla, Ikorodu LG

16. Computer Centre, AUD Primary School, Imota LCDA 

With this approval, every LCDA within Ikorodu Division now has access to all three categories of vocational training, correcting a disparity that had persisted for years.

The Education Family of LGEA Ikorodu extends its appreciation to LASUBEB for its diligence in reviewing and approving this proposal, and to the Chairmen of our Local Councils for their partnership throughout the process. We remain committed to ensuring that no pupil within our Division is denied access to quality, well-rounded education on account of geography.
