Lagos State head of service (HoS), Mr Olabode Agoro, has charged Nigerian youths to brace for leadership challenges and contribute their quota to the nation’s development.
Agoro gave the advice yesterday at the re-commissioning of Isheri Primary Health Centre and the official Capstone project launch for the Greater Health Project.
The initiative is championed and funded by the fellows of the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy (LJLA Team Impact).
The HoS commended the academy’s fellows for their contributions to society’s development and urged other youths to emulate them.
“The youth should emulate what the youths of Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy have done: to take up projects, fund them and commission them.
“We are looking for youths to become part of the government because if you don’t join the government, you won’t have a say in creating policies by joining the local government, state civil service and public service.
“Together you are the future; we need people to hand over to; we need them at local, state and federal levels; we need them in the system so that things like this can be promoted further,” he said.
The chairman of Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mayoress Samiat Bada, appreciated the Academy’s laudable programme to improve healthcare services for the people.
In his welcome address, the project team lead, Michael Ogunkoya, appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team for giving them a platform to showcase their hidden talents.
He said that before their intervention, the health centre that was being re-commissioned lacked a good structure and sustainable energy systems.
