Tokunbo Philip Wahab at 49: Transforming Lagos Education with Landmark Innovations
Why Lagos is considered the apex of Nigeria with regards to development? Simple: the best brains and visionaries in the country have taken residence there.
Today May 17, one of those overseeing this illustrious city will clock 49. This is Tokunbo Philip Wahab, the celebrated special adviser on education to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The good people of Lagos might have a bone to pick with Governor Sanwo-Olu’s government, but not with respect to the education sector. Why? Because Sanwo-Olu set up a paragon of excellence to supervise and commandeer the sector—Tokunbo Philip Wahab.
Wahab has induced a radiance in the sector that has not been seen anywhere else in the country. The efforts of Tokunbo Wahab can be summed up in one word: EFFECTIVE.
As if he has sworn to deify learning, Wahab has not failed in any of his endeavours to ensure that education is a right available to all willing Lagosians, regardless of their age, ethnicity or religious persuasion. His accomplishments to this effect make folks forget that he is a lawyer by training, not an educator.
