Durojaiye also revealed that it has become a necessity for the partnering NGOs to ensure that the empowered youths who have undergone various free trainings become successful and to give them access to financial and strategic opportunities.
Also speaking at the press briefing, executive director of Web of Hearts, an NGO, that focuses on irregular migrants, Bose Aggrey, said that her organisation has been able to train and empower over 1000 people who have been repositioned under this GOPA implemented initiative.
She added that the MSME symposium and exhibition which will hold at the Blue Roof hall inside Lagos Television, LTV premises on the 8th of December,2021 will re- emphasise the fact that locally made products by Nigerians can rule the market if our leaders have the political will to put the necessary policies to support these entrepreneurs in place.
Aggrey called on Lagosians to visit the one day exhibition which will also have government and corporate personalities in the MSME industry as guests adding that interested youths can also come and put their names down as the GIZ empowerment initiative intends to train thousands of young Nigerians in 2022
