The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said his government is open to private partnerships and investment funding opportunities to reduce youth unemployment in the state.
Speaking when he received a delegation from Prince’s Trust International on a courtesy visit on Wednesday at the State House, Marina, Sanwo-Olu said the state government committed billions of naira to address youth unemployment, but the amount was not enough.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, the governor called for the support of charities and non-governmental organisations in the area of skills development.
“The Lagos State Employment Trust Fund has been doing a lot of great things in supporting local enterprises and startups, but we need to double the numbers in response to high demand and unemployment rates.
