Stakeholders in Ikeja Constituency II in Lagos State on Friday called on Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode to create more jobs for the unemployed youths in the area.
They made the appeal at the Constituency Stakeholders’ Meeting organised by Mr Folajimi Mohammed, the lawmaker representing the constituency at the State House of Assembly.
The 2017 edition of the Stakeholders’ Meeting organised simultaneously across the 40 state constituencies was tagged: “True Representation and Accountability”.
In his remarks, Mr Wale Amole, the Auditor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ikeja Local Government Area, said that many youths were yet to be engaged after graduation from colleges and universities.
Amole said: “We want employment for our youths. The governor has done so much, but we need more job opportunities. We need assistance from our performing governor.’’
According to him, if youths are adequately engaged, crime rates will drastically reduce in the area.
Also, Alhaja Iyabo Akerele, the APC Chairman, Onigbongbo LCDA, who commended the grassroots developmental activities of Ambode and Mohammed, said that attention should be given to employment for youths. (NAN)
