Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s decision to visit Alagbaka Estate Primary School on Friday while on a working visit to Ondo state has continued to generate controversy.
While in the school, Osinbajo, a former university lecturer, decided to teach the children English language and dine with them as part of assessment of the Federal Government’s School Feeding Programme.
After the visit, he tweeted about his experience, “I used to be a University Lecturer but I can tell you, there is something special about reading to and teaching children.
I was blown away with how clever the Primary 3 pupils of Alagbaka Estate Primary School were.
Feel like such a proud father.”
Osinbajo also posted photos of the visit on his verified Twitter page.
But many Nigerians on social media used the opportunity to criticise some of the vice president’s action in the school while many saw nothing wrong in them.

@EnitanToluwalo2 replied, “So he cannot impact until he writes on the chalkboard?! Impartation goes beyond writing on the chalkboard, those children will not forget the experience in a long while, I tell you!”
