Speaking during the opening of the exhibition Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary (TGPS) Lagos State Ministry of Education District III, Dr Mrs Olufunke Oyetola, said science plays a significant role in improving the quality of life and the exhibition provides an opportunity not only to nurture the skill set of the students to excel in life, but to provide the future generation with the much-needed direction to turn their ideas into reality.

The Tutor General said many of life’s challenges such as environmental degradation, healthcare gaps, technological issues are happening because people don’t have adequate knowledge how to deploy science to solve our daily challenges. For her, getting young people interested in science is key to making the world a better place as science helps solve problems, understand our world, create new inventions and make smart choices based on facts.
