Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has applauded the educational prowess of Nigerian youths who have continued to excel globally.

Speaking when he received the management team of Westerfield College, which was on a visit to the State House, Sanwo-Olu commended the college for the role it has played in grooming young Nigerians educationally.

In a statement yesterday, the governor also commended the college for its summer camp and efforts in spreading its footprint to the United Kingdom (UK) after many years of operating in Nigeria.

The Chief Executive Officer of Westerfield College, Mr Michael Dosunmu, and his team, paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos State Governor as part of activities to mark the school’s first anniversary as a wholly owned Nigerian school thriving in the UK.

Westerfield College is also participating in the International Education Fair (IEF) and the School Leaders and Teachers Conference (SLTC 2026).

Westerfield College is a leading Sixth Form institution with campuses in Nigeria and the U.K. Last year, the school became the first wholly owned African school to offshore into the UK. This remarkable achievement was well celebrated by Sanwo-Olu at the official launch, held at the British High Commissioner’s residence, where he commended Dosunmu, who is an indigene of the state.

The visit formed part of Westerfield College’s ongoing engagement with key education stakeholders, as it continues to expand opportunities for Nigerian students and families seeking globally competitive education pathways.

During the courtesy call, the College reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening educational linkages between Nigeria and the U.K, while supporting the aspirations of young Nigerians through quality international programmes.
