Sanwo-Olu, OPay discuss youth empowerment, education, sports
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has received the senior management team of OPay Digital Services Limited, led by Dotun Adekunle, at Lagos House, Marina, to discuss youth empowerment, education and sports development.
The meeting focused on the role of young people in building a better future for Lagos State and Nigeria, particularly through improved access to education, skills development and opportunities.
Sanwo-Olu said providing more young people with access to quality education and technical skills was essential to preparing them for successful careers and enabling them to contribute meaningfully to society.
He also highlighted the OPay Scholars programme, through which students across the country are receiving training, scholarships and pathways into employment.
According to the governor, initiatives that equip young people with relevant skills and educational opportunities are important in addressing unemployment and preparing them for the demands of the modern workforce.
He expressed appreciation to the OPay delegation for the visit, stressing the importance of partnerships between government and the private sector in expanding opportunities for young people.
Sanwo-Olu added that collaboration with private organisations could help strengthen youth development initiatives and support efforts to build a more prosperous society.
He also expressed anticipation for the grand finale of the OPay Empowering Futures Conference 2.0, scheduled for November 27.
