The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has disclosed that young people living in the state contribute an estimated N4.5 trillion annually to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
He made this revelation on Monday during the Abuja Dialogue, held in Abuja. The event was jointly organized by the Office of the Vice President and the Lagos State Government, with the theme: “Scaling Excellence: Youth Leadership as Strategic Infrastructure for National Transformation.”
Serving as a precursor to the upcoming Lagos Leadership Summit, the dialogue convened key stakeholders, including members of the Federal Executive Council, Lagos State commissioners, political leaders from across the country, private sector representatives, and fellows of the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy.
The governor’s remarks underscore the critical role of youth as a driving force in economic growth and national development.
