Ambode tasks Polytechnic and technical university graduates to generate wealth because the economic climate needs young entrepreneurs.
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has advised Polytechnic graduates to develop their acquired skills to create jobs rather than be job seekers.
The governor represented by his Deputy, Dr Idiat Adebule at the 26th convocation of Lagos State Polytechnic, LASPOTECH said, ''the economic climate of the country requires young entrepreneurs who are determined to create and generate wealth''.
Ambode further said graduating students in Lagos state-owned institutions have been prepared to look forward to life after school.
