He assured the educators of his commitment to effective representation of the constituency and pledged to advocate for the resources and support needed to improve the quality of education in Badagry. “The interaction with teachers was an eye-opener, and I’m committed to ensuring their voices are heard,” he said.

Reflecting on his experience, Saanu expressed renewed confidence in the future leadership emerging from the constituency. “I’m thrilled to say that my visit to the schools left me with hope and confidence in the future leaders from Badagry. These children have the potential to shape a brighter future for Nigeria,” he remarked.
