Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has paid a special visit to the Charterhouse Lagos’ state-of-the-art campus in Ogombo.

The governor was accompanied by a delegation, including Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun; Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel Egube; Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, and Oba of Ogombo, Muslim Abiodun Ogunbo, among other esteemed dignitaries.

The delegation experienced first-hand the learning environment and educational standards that Charterhouse Lagos offers.

Sanwo-Olu, during the tour of the school’s cutting-edge facilities, engaged with students, responded to their thoughtful questions, and lauded the school’s learner-focused approach to education.

“It’s clearly a wonderful educational institution, well thought out and deeply learner-centred. What Charterhouse Lagos has done is place the students at the heart of everything. You can see from every detail that the environment has been intentionally created to support true learning. It is a place where pupils thrive, and where parents can feel confident that meaningful education is taking place.”

“As a government, we commend this level of private sector investment in educational infrastructure. There is room for both public and private contributions, and we must work together to build a strong educational ecosystem. I’m here to show support and will be closely watching the progress made by Charterhouse Lagos.”

Meanwhile, Director of Education at Charterhouse Lagos, John Todd, expressed gratitude for the visit, saying: “It was an absolute honour to host the governor and other distinguished guests. Our mission has always been to deliver a transformative learning experience, one that nurtures curiosity, character, and global-mindedness. Today’s visit reinforces our belief that great education is a shared responsibility.”

Chief Operations Officer, Angela Hencher, also reflected on the milestone, saying: “Charterhouse Lagos is more than a school; it is a statement of commitment to excellence. We are proud to be part of the educational transformation taking place in Nigeria, West Africa and excited about what the future holds for our students, families, and the wider community.”
