“No Senator In Nigeria Can Beat Remi Tinubu’s Records”-Lagos APC Leader – Naijanewsdirect

The All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Lagos state, Prince Tajudeen Olusi has hailed and described Senator Oluremi Tinubu as a pacesetter for the numerous empowerment programmes she has embarked upon to assist the less-privileged in her senatorial district, Lagos Central Senatorial District. The APC Lagos Central Senatorial District Leader said no senator can beat her records in empowerment programmes.

He made this assertion at the workshop organised by Senator Tinubu for 260 interns in Lagos yesterday, 30th November, 2019.

At the event, Senator Tinubu who represents Lagos Central Senatorial District said that Nigerian youths lack the skill-set for available jobs in the country, thereby making them unemployable.

Tinubu said several of those who are able to secure jobs are not ready to work, they only want the security of a fixed income, and unwilling to make impact, while some have no idea of how to adjust to working in a corporate environment.

She said this was why her senatorial office is placing emphasis on skills development and increasing knowledge base for the youths. She explained: “This Work Experience Programme (WEP) is borne out of the need to inculcate in our unemployed graduates, the skills, work place etiquette, and hands-on experience required to make them more attractive to potential employers, and successful in the labour market.

The 260 interns drawn from Lagos Senatorial District, she said, would be assigned to corporate organisations to acquire skills and work experience. “Thus, we have put together this workshop as a precursor to your resumption at your various places of assignment. The theme of this workshop, ‘Building Youth Capacity for Effective Engagement’, sums up why we are here. It is to ensure that you are off to a good start, on a sound footing and with the right ideas,” declared Tinubu.

The senator disclosed that “an allowance of forty thousand naira (N 40,000) will be paid by my office to cover your day-to-day expenses throughout the duration of the programme. Half of it will be paid at the onset of the programme and the balance paid upon receipt of letter from your assigned organisation, certifying that you took part in and completed the internship.”
