The Chairman of Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye LCDA, Hon Rasaq Ajala, has spearheaded the graduation celebration of students from diverse departments at two ICT centers within the LCDA.
The event, held at Solomon Hall on Olateju Street, Ilupeju, Lagos State, resonated with the triumph of knowledge and achievement.
Hon Rasaq Ajala, the visionary behind this initiative, graced the occasion, underscoring the programme overarching objective of lifting individuals out of poverty by imparting valuable ICT skills.
“We’ve steered them away from the path of becoming ‘Area boys and girls,’ offering a transformative route out of challenges,” emphasized Hon Ajala, showcasing a commitment to societal upliftment.
Addressing the crowd, he articulated the critical role of ICT proficiency in a globally competitive landscape.
“Any professional without ICT knowledge cannot compete globally. Our intention is to make you ICT compliant for a brighter future,” he declared, setting the tone for a future where technological prowess becomes a cornerstone for success.
In an impassioned plea, Hon Ajala urged the graduates to utilize their newfound skills responsibly, cautioning against any misuse that could harm others.
Emphasizing the need to build on the solid foundation provided by the programme, he painted a picture of a community empowered by knowledge and driven towards positive change.
The programme impact transcended the boundaries of the LCDA, reaching 20% of the wider population.
This inclusive approach resulted in non-resident students receiving awards, showcasing the programme popularity and its far-reaching influence.
Honouring the collaborative effort that made this initiative possible, Hon Rasaq Ajala extended special thanks to the executives, legislative arm, and department heads for their unwavering support.
Their commitment proved instrumental in the program’s pivotal role in empowering the community, making it a beacon of hope and progress.
