Ambode Presents How Nigeria Can Tackle Hunger

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Tuesday listed entrepreneurship and job creation as pivotal to Federal Government’s quest to tackle poverty and hunger in the country.

The governor spoke at the graduation ceremony for 12,935 students of various skills acquisition centres in the state.
The event took place at the Blue Roof, LTV ground in Ikeja, Lagos.

He expressed optimism that large scale entrepreneurship and massive jobs were the twin battlefronts through which government could aggressively tackle poverty and hunger in the country.

Ambode, who was presented by the Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Rotimi Ogunleye said: “Equally, it is only those that have skills that will get jobs and only those that are educated can acquire skills.

Consequently, we are not only creating skilled and healthy graduands, we are also producing self-dependent and self-employed individuals, who are employers of labour in not too distance future.”
