The Senator representing Lagos West District, Dr Idiat Adebule, has inaugurated a newly constructed Skill Acquisition Centre at Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Lagos.
The facility, built as part of her constituency projects, is designed to empower residents through vocational training and promote self-reliance.
At the commissioning of the centre, Senator Adebule said the facility will complement the efforts of the Lagos State Government and the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government in human resource development of the people of Lagos-West District.
According to her, the centre is just a tip of the iceberg, adding that more of such impactful projects are ongoing across the 28 LGAs/LCDAs of Lagos-West from Badagry, Ifako-Ijaiye, Agege, Alimosho, Ojo, Ikeja, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Amuwo-Odofin and others.
She urged the residents to protect the centre to reap maximum benefits.

“The money used in constructing this place was given to us by the Federal Government, which means it is your money. This project is yours, and I encourage you to take care of it so that generations to come will benefit from it,” she said.
She noted that the centre was one of several ongoing constituency projects across Lagos West, adding that a new market in Agbado/Oke-Odo would be inaugurated soon.
According to her, other interventions in Mushin will include the installation of solar-powered streetlights as well as the planned construction of a one-kilometre road at Market Street, near Ijesha.
Adebule thanked her constituents for given her their mandates, stressing that their supports made such interventions possible.
“Whatever we are celebrating here today is about you. You voted for us, you gave us the mandate, and your money is working for you,” she said.
She assured the residents that training programmes at the new centre would commence before the end of the year, with the facility fully equipped for youths and artisans.
Former Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Rasaq Ajala, described the project as a step toward reducing unemployment and enhancing sustainable development in the area.
