The Leader of the House of
Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, yesterday presented certificates and
equipment to 50 young people trained on the installation and maintenance of
Close Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras in his Surulere 1 constituency, Lagos.
Gbajabiamila said it was his
contribution to build human capacity and empower the youth in his constituency.
“This is a knowledge-based
empowerment. I believe more in this because when somebody has the right skills
and knowledge, he can continue to make a living out of it forever.
“That is the idea with this
CCTV training. Beneficiaries can work anywhere in the world because it is the
same process,’’ he said.
The House Leader also promised
to help the beneficiaries on issues bordering on starting up and getting
clients.
Speaking at the occasion, the
Sole Administrator, Surulere Local Government, Mr Sherif Balogun, thanked the
lawmaker for the programme. He said the initiative would go a long way in
solving the problem of unemployment in the area.
One of the beneficiaries, Mr
Rotimi Ogundoye, thanked Gbajabiamila for the training and urged him to
continue to deliver initiatives towards uplifting the people of Surulere.
