Mrs. Abimbola Fashola wife
of immediate past governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) recently
advised female pupils to imbibe good virtues as they transit from adolescent to
adulthood.
In our world today where
good morals have taken flight, Mrs. Fashola’s counsel was timely. She impressed
upon them the need to be good citizens by placing high values on morals.
She gave the advice at the
Guidance and Counselling Day organised by the Vivian Fowler Memorial College
for Girls in Lagos. She was the guest speaker at the event.
We gathered that Mrs.
Fashola was chosen for her exemplary comportment and achievements as first lady.
She however counselled the pupils to focus on their academics and shun
distractions.
According to her, “There
is need to nurture girls to grow, live and function as unique and respectable
wives, mothers and professionals of tomorrow. The school has not only been
focusing on academics alone but also on moral, leadership and home management
training”.
The founder of the school,
Mrs. Leila Fowler in her address disclosed the annual career and counselling fair
was more than a platform to guide the pupils on career path.
“The school places high
premium on guidance and counselling in view of the sensitive nature of girls as
they plough through the adventurous world of adolescence into adulthood. The school
engages professional counsellors to speak to the pupils in order to achieve a
balanced moral and academic growth.”
