Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday received Miss Etiyemonu Esther, the One Day Governor and overall winner of the 21st Lagos Spelling Bee Competition, at Lagos House, Marina, commending her brilliance and dedication.
Esther, a student of Lagos State Senior Model College, Igbokuta, earned the prestigious One Day Governor title after emerging as the overall champion of the 21st edition of the Lagos Spelling Bee.
During the reception at Lagos House, Marina, Governor Sanwo-Olu described the young champion as a shining example of the intelligence, discipline, and resilience that define Lagos youth.
