Brace up for leadership challenges, Lagos HoS charges Nigeria Youths

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 Thursday, 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, 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 for the laudable programme aimed at improving the health care services for the people of the area.

She also acknowledged the effort of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat for ensuring development at the grassroot from health, tourism, transportation among others.

In his welcome address, the project team lead, Michael Ogunkoya appreciated Governor Sanwo-Olu and his team for giving them a platform to bring out their hidden talent.

He said before their intervention, the health centre being re-commission lacked good structure and sustainable energy systems.

“Today, I am pleased to announce that we have installed a solar inverter system, upgraded the structure and introduced electronic medical record (EMR) systems”.

Apart from renovation of the health centre, the fellows also organised medical outreach, campaigns against domestic violence, among others within Ikosi Isheri communities.
