“This training programme organized for our unemployed youths is one of the various initiatives of the present administration to make our youths self-sustaining and reliant and enable them add values to the society and become better citizens” Adeoluwa remarked.
In his keynote address, the Ogun State Head of Service, Elder Sola Adeyemi pointed out that the youths daring involvement in criminal and social vices without gender disparity was as a result of high level of unemployment in the society, emphasizing that this necessitated the State Government to collaborate with appropriate bodies to put the programme together.

In their goodwill messages, the representative of the Federal Ministry of Communication Technology, Mr Madunezi Emmanuel commended the Ogun State Government for providing an enabling environment for the programme, adding that fourteen thousand youths have been trained in 18 States and Ogun had provided a better platform in terms of preparation, security, conducive environment with necessary facilities in place, noting that these are pointers to the fact that Government was responsive and committed to the welfare of its youths.

Any idea what the budget was last year AgbongboAkala,
I wish there was a bit more transparency around the finances of each state. We could potentially come up with ideas to cut recurrent expenditure.
