Laudable idea but accountability and monitoring? Will the funds go to youth or back into the pockets of the organisers and their cronies? Will the consultancy contract for training and development surpass the actual loans disbursed? How will the state administer the funds to ensure transparency? All these issues and more need to be addressed or this is just another dead on arrival scheme. And that sad thing is that if the will is actually there, these schemes will work properly and transform the informal sector that is actually keeping the wheels of this country running. The artisans, the market women and men, the young IT professional, the musicians. I hope lagos state is genuine it its plans. We wait with bated breath to see the report of the scheme 12 months from now.
