The Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Tertiary Education, has announced the commencement of the Eko Digital training programme in Badagry and Yaba as part of its efforts to promote education and entrepreneurial skills development among youth in the State.

Addressing journalists in Lagos on Monday, the Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Hon. Tolani Sule said the state government is committed to maintaining excellence in all tertiary institutions, and this digital and entrepreneurial skills training is a testament to her commitment. The training will offer a range of programmes and courses designed to equip youth with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in their chosen fields.

The Badagry and Yaba training centres will provide students with access to state-of-the-art facilities, experienced instructors, and a supportive learning environment, enabling them to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to compete in today’s fast-paced world.

He said the Lagos State Government believes that investing in education and skills development is crucial to creating a more prosperous and competitive economy and improving the quality of life for youth and residents in general.
