Commissioner for wealth creation and employment in Lagos, Mrs. Yetunde Arobieke , has said Lagos state will pay 4,000 unemployed graduates 40,000 thousand naira monthly for six months.
She disclosed this when addressing reporters as part of activities to mark governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second year in office.
According to her, this would be implemented through the ministry’s graduate internship placement programme intended to address unemployment.
The commissioner said the programme, planned to last for six months, would expose interns to a particular job, profession or industry and enhance networking.
Through the initiative, interns will be given the opportunity to excel and possibly learn a job with the organization as they are exposed to professional skills and interpersonal relationships in a structured setting.
