Today at Lagos House, Marina, I shared the progress we have made through the Human Capital Opportunities for Prosperity and Equity programme, supported by partners like the World Bank, UNICEF and the Universal Basic Education Board.
We designed HOPE to focus on what matters most to our people. Education, primary healthcare, and governance. I am encouraged by the results we are seeing across all three.
In education, every pupil in the early years of public primary school now has access to literacy and numeracy textbooks. Over 12,000 teachers are also using our mentoring platform to improve how they teach. We have also introduced free learning materials and an e-learning platform for junior secondary school students to support their growth.
In healthcare, we have strengthened primary care by upgrading facilities and deploying 3,600 health workers to underserved communities. Many of our primary healthcare centres are now more reliable and better equipped to serve families.
On governance, we are improving transparency and accountability at the local government level through training and stronger systems that support better budgeting and service delivery.
These results reflect careful planning and consistent work. More importantly, they show our commitment to improving everyday life for Lagosians. Behind every number is a real story, and our goal remains simple. To deliver the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
