The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called for better youth participation in the Lagos State Security Trust Fund and the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund.
Sanwo-Olu urged the boards of the two agencies to prioritise the youth in the implementation of their programmes.
He spoke on Tuesday during the inauguration of the LSSTF and LSETF board members at a brief ceremony at the State House, Alausa, Ikeja.Since the creation of the two agencies, Sanwo-Olu observed, Lagos had improved business activities due to the upgrade in the operational capacities of security agencies.
He disclosed that the State Executive Council had scaled up the allocation to the LSETF in the revised 2020 budget to make more funds available to the micro, small and medium enterprises, with the objective to support young people finance their entrepreneurial skills and create jobs. “Our young people should be a priority in the design and implementation of the initiatives of both LSSTF and LSETF. The success in delivering on the mandates setting up these bodies will be determined, in large part, by how well we are able to take the attitudes and mindsets of the youth into consideration,” Sanwo-Olu added.All rights reserved.
