Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has empowered 800 artisans and 400 tradesmen from 60 traders’ associations, providing them with modern tools and equipment during the 12th graduation ceremony of the Lagos State Skill Acquisition Centres.

This initiative will be supported by JAMA JAMA App as the owners of the App made their intention known during the graduation ceremony.

Through their online platform, the newly trained artisans can showcase their skills, connect with potential clients, and access additional training resources.

It would be recalled that on November 6, 2024, JAMA JAMA launched the “Artisans Network,” a dedicated section on their platform that offers free registration for all graduates of the Lagos State Skill Acquisition Centres.

“This network provides artisans with tools to manage their businesses, such as scheduling, invoicing, and client management.”

“The collaboration between the Lagos State government and JAMA JAMA embodies the strength of public-private partnerships, blending government support with innovative digital solutions to achieve shared goals.

The platform gives these skilled professionals a direct sales channel, enhances their visibility, and helps build their reputation, creating a dynamic and supportive community for local craftsmanship,” the owners said.

They further said the collaboration aligns seamlessly with the governor’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ agenda, which emphasizes social inclusion, youth empowerment, and equal economic opportunities for all Lagosians.
The state government recently did a follow-up inspection at the Eko Job Center in Ikorodu . This served to reinforce the government’s commitment to these training initiatives.
This partnership between JAMAJAMA and the Lagos State government marks a new era of economic empowerment and skill development for Lagos artisans.
