The Lagos State has been known as pacesetter, foremost and frontier in human infrastructural development, project delivery and new concepts and sustainable development.

The Ministry of Agriculture in a bid to raise agribusiness managers and also reduce hunger and prominently reduce joblessness in Lagos State. The Lagos Agriprenuership Programme was revived through the ministry with partnership with various supports and funds from the state government.

Indeed, the programme projects to support, empower the youths and women in Lagos State but this hope has been dashed and punctured with lies and propagandas.

The programme has failed flatly to meet up to its responsible of meeting up the promises and benefits of the programme. A Nairalander who is also a master's graduate feels disappointed and cheated to see the lecturers using them to achieve their own personal projects in the institute.

All benefits attached with the programme has not been fulfilled, although there was one month's camping on the campus with rigorous training in various trainings like Pig farming, fish farming, and poultry. One of the packages of the programme is to place participants on internship placement, access to loans and certificate from the institute.

After a year of the training, nothing has been done, no internship placement, no loan accessibility and no certificate of participation. Various participants has been lured and lied into the programme again, my set was the 9th set and now we have 14th set and no one has been attended to all these while.

We call on the Lagos State Government to kindly look to the fraud going on through this programme from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Many youths have seen this as a way to move out of the jobless category, many of us are married, we left everything and paid attention to this programme, infact we wrote examination and we worked hard to see a better life.

We call our amiable governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to kindly put a stop to the ongoing admission and scrutinized activities going with this programme.

Youth in agriculture should be encouraged but it is discouraging if all the so called intervention is a scam in its real sense..
