Lagos State Head of Service (HoS), Mr. Olabode Agoro has charged youths in the country to brace up for leadership challenges rocking the country and contribute their quota to the development of the nation.
Agoro gave the advice on Friday, while speaking at the re-commissioning of Isheri Primary Health Centre and 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 Lagos HoS who commended the fellows of the academy for their contributions to the development of the society, urged other youths to emulate the fellows.
“The youth should emulate what the youths of Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy have done, which is to take up projects, fund it and commission it.
“We are looking for youths to become part of the government, join the government because if you don’t join the government, you won’t have a say in creating policies.
“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 for the laudable programme aimed at improving the health care services for the people of the area.
She also acknowledged the efforts of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat for ensuring development at the grassroots from health, tourism, and transportation among others.
