A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Folajimi Lai Mohammed, has advised youths to work hard and be focused, saying those were the only ways they would achieve their potentials.
He also said youth empowerment initiatives would remain the focus of his representation in the House.
Lai-Mohammed, who represents Ikeja 1 constituency, stated this when he presented some items to his constituents, on Tuesday.
The items donated under his pet-project called ‘The Seed Irugbin’, included a fully equipped car-wash at Onigbongbo and 50 chairs and tables donated to the Army Model Primary School at the Ikeja Military Cantonment at Maryland, Lagos.
Lai-Mohammed noted that the gift items to Onigbongbo community and the Army Primary School were the first in the series of empowerment projects he planned for his constituency.
Said he, “In the last two years that I have been in the House of Assembly, I have been learning the ropes and I am still learning. What you see here today is the first of the development and empowerment initiatives I intend to bring ng to my constituency.
“I am here to give back to my constituency what they gave me. During my electioneering campaign, we sought out the issues . Now that we know the issues, we will go about to address them. Other projects will follow. ”
He added that the table and chairs donated to the Army Model Primary School was intended to provide a comfortable learning environment for the children, and noted, “a child in a comfortable school will do better than a child in an uncomfortable school.
