Lagos State Government will air 320 school lessons across 10 subjects on Lagos Television and various social media platforms.
This initiative, under the Eko Learners Support Programme, is to help students prepare for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO).
Mr Durotimi Adeboye, Consultant to the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education and Project Director/CEO of Global Education Media Ltd., shared the details during an interview in Lagos on Tuesday.
“It is fantastic that Lagos State Government pays for students’ WASSCE. Beyond that, the ministry has put this measure in place to boost preparations for a laudable outcome,” he said.
Mr Adeboye He highlighted that the programme was officially launched on January 14 by the Lagos State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Jamiu Alli-Balogun.
Developed by a team of educators in the ministry, the Eko Learners Support Programme will deliver lessons in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Government, History, Literature-in-English, and Yoruba.
Thirty carefully selected teachers have been recruited as facilitators to ensure high-quality instruction.
Adeboye explained that the initiative is designed to enhance students’ readiness and improve their performance in these critical examinations.
He emphasised the government’s commitment to supporting education, noting that, in addition to funding WASSCE fees for students, the programme provides a structured resource to boost academic outcomes.
He urged students to take full advantage of the lessons, which will be broadcast on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
“The Eko Learner Support for WAEC and NECO candidates is one of the many initiatives from the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to support the performance of Lagos State candidates in these important public examinations.
“Now that the government has made these resources available and accessible to all candidates, it is entirely up to them.
“However, I encourage the prospective candidates to make good use of these resources,” he said.
The lessons are interactive, allowing students to review content, seek clarifications, and ask questions to deepen their understanding.
The pilot phase of the programme is scheduled to run for 26 weeks. Adeboye expressed optimism about the impact of this initiative, stating that it offers students a vital opportunity to excel in their examinations and break barriers to higher education.
