Adeyemi said this laudable programme, launched in partnership with Korrekt Tech, reflects true commitment to youth empowerment, technological advancement, and educational development critical pillars of the THEMES+ Agenda of the Sanwo-Olu administration.

Running across three weekends beginning October 11, 2025, at three major tertiary institutions Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), and Lagos State College of Health Technology (LASCOHET), this training will equip young people with in-demand digital skills in software testing, quality assurance, and tech-driven service delivery.
