He continued by saying that, following the training, graduates will be placed on internship with partnering organisations for three months during which they can secure employment in the private sector.


He added that the internship will provide hands-on experience in real real-world setting allowing graduates to apply their skills and gain valuable insights into their chosen fields. The Commissioner emphasised that the Lagos State Government in collaboration with our partners and donor agencies will provide stipends to all beneficiaries graduates to enable them to focus on training and internships.


Ajigbotafe called on stakeholders to partner and support the State Government initiatives under the THEMES Plus Agenda of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu so as to enhance the socio-economic development of Lagos State.
