House of Representatives member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wale Raji, has said acquisition of skills and youth empowerment will reduce cultism and other social vices.
Raji, who is representing Epe, addressed reporters yesterday in Lagos on his plan to ensure that youths in his constituency get the requisite skills and empowerment to take many of them from the streets.
Lawmaker said his Youth Empowering Scheme, in partnership with the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board (LASTVEB), had been training about 300 youths in his constituency.
Raji said the participants would be given tools in their areas of skills and empowerment to be self-sufficient.
He said: “Nobody can make them rich but an opportunity can be created for them to acquire vocational skills that will always put food on their table and make them financially independent. About 129 participants will soon graduate and the rest will be assisted to upgrade their businesses.”
