A Vocational Centre located along TOS Benson road, Ebute-Ikorodu area of Lagos has completely deteriorated following several years of neglect by the Local and state government.

The vocational centre which was established to train youths on Computer Science, Hairdressing, Fashion Designing, Carpentry among others, currently has no student to its name due to its dilapidated state.

Breeze Reporters gathered that the facility which has the potential of graduating over 200 students in a session has been in a deplorable state with cracked walls, broken entry gate, shattered roofs, doors and windows, bushy compound, lack of water and toilet facilities, among others.

The five departments at the centre were observed to lack technical equipment for learning and few equipment at the centre were either dilapidated or non functional.

Meanwhile, executives of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN Ikorodu-West, have appealed for the intervention of Lagos State government and Non Governmental Organizations to revived the centre which has been abandoned for years.

The call was made after the group visited the facility for proper assessment.

A statement by Comrade Asoro Abubakri Olatunji, Legal Adviser of the NYCN reads in part; "We hereby seek for the urgent intervention of the Lagos State Government and concerned Non Governmental Organisations in bringing the centre back to life as this will provide job opportunities for our teeming youths, men and women and will also reduce poverty rate in the state".

Olatunji in a chat with Breeze Reporters, further disclosed that the centre had been disconnected from electricity source for about two years, adding that the facility has been abandoned for more than two years.
