A vocational center, Lagos State School Leavers
Modern Apprenticeship, has been inaugurated
by the Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola
for street urchins, popularly known as Area boys
in a bid to get them off the streets.
The center which was inaugurated on Tuesday is
expected to not only provide a base for young
school leavers to acquire vocational skills but
also provide a base for the urchins to be trained
without fee.
At the inauguration of the center, Mr Fashola
noted that most of the urchins dropped out of
school and did not have good parental care.
According to him, the situation the urchins
found themselves forced them into taking drugs
and other vices, adding that “these youth if
trained could be very useful members of the
society. That is why we feel it is imperative to
train these miscreants.”
He explained that this scheme and amongst
many others are responsible for the fall in crime
in the state. “This is what we have been doing to
secure the state from crime. Before 2001, you
could not walk on the streets of Lagos without
being molested by these miscreants. We have
about 17 other skill acquisition centers to arrest
the situation and prevent crimes.” he said

Nice. But will they want to leave their lucrative business?

woooowww. sooo cool. i find more reasons for loving Fashola every minute.

It's a good thing sha... I hope the teachers won't provoke them cos if they do, na Bottle straight

Where is the school located, i am sure it is close to Ajah or Ibeju Lekki. If it was Agege or Mushin then they will be worse off after graduation and IT.
If it is vocational, then

NO COMMENT......till

Why are Nigerians so negative? Let the school start first. The challenges will be resolved as time goes by. Na wa o!

This is more like youth empowerment. I hope they educate them more on the consequences of criminality and of constituting nuisance to the society.

No "Igbo" will go there because we have no need for it. Fashola knows it's your sine qua non.
