Lagos State Government has unveiled a new initiative, the Eko Learners’ Support, aimed at assisting candidates preparing to write examimations being conducted by  the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO) 

The State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Alli-Balogun, during the official launching of the initiative at the Education Resource Centre in Lagos on Tuesday, explained that it was  designed to help students excel in their external examinations

"These lessons will be broadcast on Lagos Television, as well as other social media platforms, and will feature proficient teachers who have undergone rigorous screening,” Alli-Balogun explained".

The programme according to him, will feature 320 lessons across 10 subjects including English,Mathematics,Physics, Chemistry,Biology,Economics,Government, History,Literature-in-English and Yoruba

Broadcast details and accessibility 
The lessons will be aired for 26 weeks, with each episode lasting 30 minutes. After the broadcast, the lessons will be archived on various social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), ensuring easy access for students.

“The lessons after broadcast on television are archived permanently on social media platforms,” Alli-Balogun added 

"The programme aims to create a space where candidates can privately engage with the resources, provide feedback, and ask questions. Students are also encouraged to create a collaborative forum with their teachers and fellow learners, fostering an environment of mutual support and improvement".

"The idea is to get the learners and candidates energising one another to improve performance,” the commissioner stated.

"The lessons are developed in line with the Lagos State Government-approved Scheme of Work and the WAEC & NECO syllabus. The content will be delivered sequentially, allowing students to revisit areas they may have missed.
“The lessons have been developed and prepared in accordance with the Lagos State Government approved Scheme of Work and the WAEC & NECO syllabus,” Alli-Balogun said.
