The programme was held today at the NJS Royale Event Centre, bringing together young people from across Ibeju-Lekki for intensive two days training in leadership and personal development.

In his address on behalf of the Executive Chairman, Hon.

He further stated: “By bringing quality leadership training, emergency response skills, and employability development right to the grassroots, the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy under the visionary leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has demonstrated that leadership development must not be reserved for a few in the city centre but must reach every corner of our state.”

She charged the participating youths to take full advantage of the opportunity to transform their lives and communities.

“The Academy is committed to equipping young people with the right skills and mindset to become effective leaders,” she said.

The YOU-LEAD programme featured modules on communication, public speaking, teamwork, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and other critical employability and emergency response skills.

The partnership underscores the commitment of both the Lagos State Government and the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government to youth development and inclusive leadership training across all parts of the state.
