Dr. Obasa, who gifted brilliant pupils from across the 20 local government areas of Lagos and students in the six districts of the state with cash rewards, urged the children to abstain from social vices as such could redirect their purposes in life.
At the event which was held at the Oyewole Primary School, Agege, the Speaker said he loves celebrating his birthday with school children as a way to motivate them and make them serious with their studies.
“We want you to develop that confidence, that dream that you will become something tomorrow. This was my school. As a child, I never thought that I would be where I am today.
“Therefore, you must be hardworking. It does not matter the name of your school, what matters is your ability and how much you can put into your study. So start reading now.
“I was in class three when I finished preparing the processes for WAEC exams. I can display my result and how I passed at one sitting. You don’t have to feel oppressed because you’re not in a private school. That’s why we are always here to encourage you and make you see that you’re truly our future.
“You can be better than us but you must make sure you are serious with your education. I want a situation where in the future, you would remember today and also find yourself in positions to inspire others.
“Please, I beg you. Never give in to crime. For the girls, do not be corrupted or influenced negatively. Don’t be enticed with money. Be upright and adopt morality,” the Speaker advised.
AMINAT ALEGE: 12-YEAR-OLD STUDENT SHOT IN EYE GETS N5M
One of the highlights of the event was the award of N5 million to Aminat Alege, the student who was mistakenly hit in the eye by a teargas canister shot by a policeman on February 9, 2024.
The money was contributed by the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly as part of efforts to help the victim’s family mitigate the educational challenge she may have faced since the incident.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues during the presentation of a cheque to Aminat’s parents, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, (Eti-Osa II), said Speaker Obasa had been disturbed since the incident happened to the student of the Adams Yakubu Memorial school Agege.
He said the lawmakers decided to assist after watching Aminat’s parents appeal for assistance from the public.
“There was a programme where the parents cried out for assistance. So we at the Lagos State House of Assembly have contributed the sum of N5 million. We have also offered a scholarship for the young lady so that she can continue her education,” he said.
The lawmakers further donated 15 computer sets to three schools, Oyewole Primary School, Thomas Aquinas school and Royal Apple School.
2 STUDENTS WIN SCHOLARSHIPS
For winning in a current affairs question-and-answer session, two students at the event won scholarships by the chairman of Orile-Agege Local Council Development Area, Babatunde Johnson.
Ishola Moyinoluwa of Ikeja Junior High School and Isiaka Bashar Ayomiposi of Eko Junior College were among the students who participated in the competition.
While Moyinoluwa came first, Ayomiposi came second during the competition.
Commending Obasa, Mr. Johnson, noted God’s mercies on the Speaker who he described as “a leader that has paid his dues.”
The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Noheem Adams, said Obasa had become a pride to the people of Agege because of the massive infrastructural development the Speaker has attracted to the area.

Lagos Socialite Engr. Omotosho Accuses TRAME Executives of Calumny and Blackmail
The feud between Lagos socialite Engr. Omotosho and The Residents Association Maplewood Estate (TRAME) Executives has escalated, with accusations flying back and forth in a battle of words and allegations.
In response to allegations from The Residents Association Maplewood Estate (TRAME) Executives, Lagos socialite Engr. Omotosho has fired back, dismissing the claims as a “campaign of calumny” and decrying the accusers as “blackmailers.”
Engr. Omotosho strongly refutes the accusations, labeling them as baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation. The TRAME Executives had levied criticism against him, but he is standing firm in his denial.
In a petition addressed to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu by the TRAME Executives, titled ‘Request for Urgent Intervention by Mr. Governor on the Threat to Peace, Livability, Stability, and Security at the Maplewood Estate Oko-Oba Agege, Lagos,’ the representatives expressed their concerns regarding the behavior of Mr. Omotosho, citing issues such as refusal to pay estate security dues and operating a school in disregard of the estate’s development plan.
Engr. Omotosho has vehemently denied the claims made against him by the TRAME Executives, labeling them as a “campaign of calumny” and accusing his accusers of being “blackmailers.” The TRAME Executives, on the other hand, have presented a petition to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, detailing their grievances and requesting urgent intervention to address the threats to peace, livability, stability, and security at Maplewood Estate in Agege, Lagos.
According to the TRAME Executives, Engr. Omotosho has been a constant source of disruption within the estate, allegedly flouting rules and regulations set by the Residents Association. They claim that he has refused to pay estate security dues and electricity development levy, operated a school against the estate’s development plan, damaged security barriers, defied court judgments, and illegally occupied land designated for a recreation ground.
Meanwhile, Engr Omotosho has already filed a petition with the commissioner of police. The commissioner has ordered a police investigation into the matter. Part of his grievance is the flooding of the school premises and unauthorized incursions into his land. He also raised concerns about the re-channeling of the drainage system, among other issues.
The ongoing conflict has divided the community and raised concerns about the future of Maplewood Estate. Residents are left grappling with the implications of the accusations and counter-accusations between Engr. Omotosho and the TRAME Executives.
As the situation continues to unfold, residents are hopeful that a resolution can be reached to restore peace and harmony within the estate. The spotlight remains on Engr. Omotosho and the TRAME Executives as they navigate this contentious dispute in Maplewood Estate.
