Foundation holds talent hunt for youths

The Peace Enlightenment Foundation at the weekend held a talent hunt for youths in Ijegun, a Lagos suburb.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode urged the youths to stay away from drugs and cultism to realise their future plans.

Ambode, who was represented by the State Coordinator, Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko Vanguard, Seyi Bamigbade, maintained that the government would award scholarships to first and second placed candidates.

He said: “We will monitor and hope that next year would be bigger than this. The message of the governor to the youths is that they know that they are the future of this country, and the future starts now. They should also obedient to their parents.”

He assured residents of Ijegun that the government of Akinwunmi Ambode would build the road linking Ijegun to Festac Town, to ensure easy movement. He added that there is need for the people to support government’s effort at ensuring good roads and security.

Bamigbade also urged Lagosians to get their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to enable them vote in the candidate of their choice, saying the present government has a lot of programmes for young ones.
