The Executive Chairman of Alimosho Local Government has taken the council’s flagship programme, Wise Agenda, to primary and secondary schools within the local government area as part of the ongoing Environmental Week celebration.
The initiative is designed to promote environmental awareness, personal development, and civic responsibility among young learners.
Addressing students and teachers during the outreach, the council boss described the Wise Agenda as a holistic programme aimed at influencing every facet of community life through education, discipline, and innovation.
He noted that the project seeks to raise a generation of responsible youths capable of contributing meaningfully to both local and national development.
The Chairman urged the students to take their education seriously and cultivate positive attitudes that reflect diligence, creativity, and good character.
According to him, the Wise Agenda aligns with the council’s broader vision to nurture future leaders who understand the value of integrity, hard work, and environmental stewardship.
Emphasizing the significance of environmental protection, he called on pupils to keep their surroundings clean and recognize the environment as a channel for creativity and opportunity rather than neglect.
“Don’t waste the waste—make wealth from waste,” he said, challenging the students to see recycling as a pathway to innovation and economic empowerment.
He added that effective waste management and recycling not only protect the ecosystem but also open doors for job creation and sustainable growth.
Instilling such awareness at a young age, he explained, would help shape a generation that values responsibility and resourcefulness.
Teachers and students alike applauded the council’s initiative, commending the leadership for bringing such an inspiring and educational programme to their schools.
