The executive governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday charged Nigerian youths to take advantage of opportunities available in many other sectors of the nation’s economy not currently utilised, saying the era of waiting for white collar jobs are over in the country.

According to Ceoafrica, Ambode, who made the charge at the Lagos House in Ikeja, while hosting artists who performed at the One Lagos Fiesta (OLF), revealed the plans of his administration to use a project known as T.H.E.S.E alongside entertainment, tourism and arts among others to grow the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and transform the state to emerge as the true hub of entertainment in Africa.

In his words, Ambode said that “this is a historic day in the annals of history of the entertainment industry in Nigeria, which has never happened before, where you have a conglomeration of the big names in the entertainment industry including artists, producers, and comedians.

“The One Lagos Fiesta is to create some form of awareness that we are not yet where we ought to be, so, the Project T.H.E.S.E which means Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment, Sports for excellence, will be used to promote excellence and grow the GDP of Lagos state.

“The only sets of people that can actually run the future of a global economy are those who are creative and innovative”. Ambode said.
