Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode said his administration will introduce strategies that would take unemployed youths off the streets.
Ambode disclosed this while commissioning the newly reconstructed multi-purpose Onikan Youth Centre at Lagos Island on Friday. He lamented that priority attention had not been given to the nation’s youth over the years.
He said, “The government will be introducing new incentives for businesses in Lagos to enable them grow, support the society and take more of our youths off the streets. As a government, we will continue to explore ways to create an enabling environment to make your businesses thrive.”
“The choice of a Recreation Centre as your contribution to the society is very welcome because this is the key thrusts of our administration. This centre will positively engage our young boys and girls and help them to channel their abundant energies towards productive ventures.
“Ultimately, centres such as this will serve as a rallying point for the conception of great ideas and unleashing of potentials in all areas of human endeavours.”
