Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

Alli-Balogun in a statement made available to The PUNCH on Wednesday, was inducted alongside the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr Abayomi Abolaji.

“We are forming a committee to implement scouting in all our schools. I will liaise with the 20 local government chairmen and 56 LCDA chairmen in Lagos State to collaborate on this initiative. We need to actively engage the students. Once we demonstrate the benefits and activities of scouting, their natural interest will be piqued. Talking about it is not enough; we need to showcase it to enlist their interest in scouting.

“The more students we have involved in scouting, the more we can enhance the overall safety in our schools,” Alli-Balogun said.

He maintained that the goal of the ministry was to reintroduce the positive aspects of scouting into the current school system.

Also speaking, the commissioner of the Scout Association of Nigeria, Lagos Council, Mr Olohuntoyin Adebesin, said society had lost many of the basic values that should be upheld, adding that reintroducing scouting in schools could greatly benefit society.
