A nongovernmental organization, Connected Development, CODE, has encouraged the Lagos state government to commit more resources into educating youths in order to halt poverty across Nigeria.
In the courtesy visit to the governor’s aide, Mike Azu-Monye, the organization’s Program’s Manager stressed on their aim to provide accurate data to the government so that projects like CODELagos – to teach young people on digital skills – and Ready-set Work initiative for final year students would become more efficient.Connected Development, CODE, members with S.A on Educatio, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab
With the poverty rate in Lagos at 74.3% as of 2011 and Nigeria’s unemployment rate pegged at 23.1% for Q3 of 2018 according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, CODE suggested an expansion of RSW to accommodate more beneficiaries. He mentioned that ‘the government’s vision is clear. We have now reviewed the next year’s budget upward by 63% for education and over 40% health; which are top priorities for human capital. In fact, from 2020, we intend to increase the target for our RSW to 10,000 beneficiaries. So, you can have my assurance on these key issues stated.’
