Richard Idowu, who praised the efforts of the producer, reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State government to the project. “One of our cardinal points is to make sure that all youths are well taken care of. We should be able to make sure that all youths in the state irrespective of their background, religion, tribe, as long as they are resident in Lagos, are forthright, willing and ready to work for the progress of the state. That is why the Ministry of Social Development is statutorily saddled with the responsibility of making sure that the youths are adequately developed, under the youths development programmes.”
