Our mandate
Lagos State is the most populous city in Nigeria, the second fastest-growing city in Africa and the seventh in the world. The Island is at the heart of this rapid growth, situated within thelargest business district with a large population of youth who come from across Nigeria and other African countries in search of greener pastures within the district. However, most of them are faced with traumatic ordeals as a result of poor or lack of education, life skills and poor orientation which makes them unable to fit into the already commercialized and sophisticated Island. Justification from studies and experience reveals that these youths face a number of problems some of which include:
- Inadequate opportunities for vocational education and training, especially for persons with disabilities;
- Inequalities in social, economic and political conditions with increasing hunger and deterioration in living conditions for such an active population;
- Continuing discrimination against young women and men and insufficient access to equal opportunities in employment and education;
