The newly sworn-in Lagos State Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Mr Tolani Sule, has reiterated his commitment to maintaining the current tempo of education standard in all state-owned institutions.

He added that since Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has invested heavily in infrastructure and quality tertiary education, “the time to hit the ground running is now.”

Sule, who made the promise recently during his assumption of duty at the new ministry, noted that the establishment of two additional state universities by the state government was a response to the need to provide youths with the opportunity for tertiary education, a statement said on Wednesday.

The state government in July 2023 restructured some ministries, departments and agencies in the state. The restructured MDAs included the Ministry of Education, which was split into the Ministry of Basic Education; and the Ministry of Tertiary Education.

The commissioner urged the staff to join hands with him in “implementing the policies that would help to raise the bar of tertiary education in the state,” stressing that it was not a coincidence that the Lagos State University and the two newly established state universities, the Lagos State University of Education and the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, became first choice institutions for most candidates.

In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr Kasali Adeniran, said the new ministry was endowed with human capital and material resources needed for good performance.

He assured the commissioner that the staff would give him all the necessary support that would fast-track development in state-owned institutions.
