Some secondary school students in Lagos State, who just concluded Senior Secondary School Examination, have thanked Lagos State Government for free secondary education, which they said lifted them.

Miss Stephanie James said that she was excited to complete secondary education.

She thanked Lagos State Government for the opportunity and praised her teachers for their patience and commitment.

James urged her schoolmates to ensure that their secondary education would count.

Â
“I want the government to improve facilities for learning in schools.
Â
” Conducive learning environment will make students to be more interested in education.
Â
Â
“Government should continue the free education; this will help those whose parents cannot afford school fees to be educated.
Â
“When they are educated, they will think better,” she said.

James, who wants to study law at the University, urged her juniors to make maximum use of the free education to develop themselves.
Â
Master Daniel Uzoma told NAN that secondary education was interesting, thanking the government for free education.
Â
Uzoma said that he and other students autographed on their school uniforms after their last examination paper, for remembrance.
Â
For Miss Adedoyin Adekoya, completing secondary education is a big achievement.

Adekoya called on the government to employ more teachers and pay them better so they would teach better and students would be more developed.
