The Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa has admonished children never to give up on their dreams no matter their background.
Obasa gave the advice when he visited his alma mater, St Aquinos Thomas Primary School, Akin Baruwa St, off Atunrase St, Mushin, Lagos, where he celebrated his 48th birthday with the pupils.
“I started life like you all and you ate indeed the future we rely on. Do not let anything deter you.
“I am of a humble background; I struggled through life and today, I am the speaker of Lagos House of Assembly.
” You can be a governor, a speaker, a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, a great footballer, or anything you want to be in life,” he said while urging them not to allow anything to discourage them.
Obasa also visited another alma mater, State Primary School, Oyewole Road, Agege, Lagos where he told the pupils parts of the story.
“When I was in this school as a child, I never had the opportunity of meeting a dignitary or had anyone from the government visit us.
” Today, I chose to visit you so you can dream to be like me or anything you want to be in life.
“You all can be great. You all can be successful beyond my achievements as the speaker of Lagos State,” he said.
