Ikorodu Youths Enter the Digital Economy: Is Eko Digital Training a One-Week Event or the Start of Real Opportunity?


OgasTv Ikorodu Opportunity Watch — Eko Digital Training Underway

What happened: Lagos State began a five-day Eko Digital Training programme for youths in the Ikorodu Division. The Ikorodu centre is at the Homat School of Basic Studies CBT Centre, Igbogbo, with sessions running from 7 to 11 September 2026

Why it matters: The programme offers practical exposure to digital literacy, artificial intelligence, information technology, emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship—skills that could improve access to jobs and business opportunities.

Verified: The training is being implemented through the Lagos State Ministry of Tertiary Education and has been reported by Vanguard, The Impact Newspaper and Lagos Television. 

Still unclear: Number of Ikorodu participants, selection criteria, certification, follow-up support and whether the programme will produce measurable employment or enterprise outcomes.
