Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode donated N5
million to two students of the Lagos State College of Health Technology
(LASCOHET) today, Thursday, September 15, 2016.
The students – Sarunmi
Oluwafemi and Dada Samuel designed a new technology for generating biogas
through the treatment of animal waste.
The two beneficiaries were among the 422 successful graduates
of the Ready, Set, Work (RSW) programme of the state government aimed at
equipping graduates of tertiary institutions in the state with the necessary
entrepreneurial skills.
The business idea involves the treatment of animal waste in
order to generate biogas which can be used for domestic cooking, generation of
electricity, among other purposes. It is also targeted at providing a potential
substitute for the ever costly liquefied petroleum gas.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Governor reiterated his
administration’s strong commitment to capacity building, entrepreneurship
empowerment, and sustainable youth development. He added that the RSW
initiative was one of the initiatives targeted at youth empowerment in the
state and vowed to increase the number of students in the pilot scheme of the
RSW programme from 500 in 2016 to 1000 in 2017.
Congrats BOYS, U've both made the SCHOOL built on one and half plot of land proud. LASCOHET 4 LIFE
