Sanwo-Olu has revealed that he was once a plumber.

News Rain gathered that Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday said he worked as a plumber about 30 years ago.

While advising youths and women to engage in vocational skills and become employers of labor rather than depending solely on government and private organizations for job opportunities, the governor said he used to be a plumber at his early stage.

At the graduation of 6,252 students of the 18 skill acquisition centers in the state, the Sanwo-Olu also urged the graduands to use the skills they had acquired to create platforms for themselves to be employers of labor.

The governor, while assuring the graduating students of support, urged them to do all they could to make learning a life-long venture, by constantly seeking ways to improve their skills and grow their businesses.

The students were trained in 15 different skills, including hairdressing and cosmetology, catering and hotel management, computer training, barbing, textile design, hat making and bead stringing, shoe making/leather works, fashion design, and dressmaking.

Also at the event, the state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Cecilia Dada, said the graduands would receive the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board certificates which could grant them transition into any of the state technical colleges for further training.

It will be recalled that the governor of Lagos State has assumed the people of the state that despite the Covid-19 pandemic realities, the state will not leave any stone unturned to continue with its socio-economic development works as well as maintained the administration’s commitment to welfare uplifting of the people.
