The Lagos State government has stressed the need to shape the ideology of millennials on electoral processes and participation, while tasking youths on re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for continuity.
The Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, stated this yesterday, at the official launch of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Youth Professionals Support Group (BOSYOPS), in the state secretariat, Alausa.
The commissioner hinted that the group is targeting three million votes for the governor’s re-election bid, noting that since youths constitute about 65 per cent of the population, the mark is a walk over.
She said the group is committed to promoting Sanwo-Olu’s achievements through strategic deployment of skills, know-how and resources towards harnessing the youth’s segment.
She said BOSYOPS is a collection of vibrant, socio-politically oriented and technologically savvy youth who cut across all walks of life.
According to her, the group comprises young professionals, technocrats, businesspeople, social activists, advocates, political analysts, social commentators, intellectuals, and other people of similar mind, who are committed to promoting Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu (BOS) ideology and vision of making Lagos a 21st century economy.
Olusanya said part of the objectives of the project is to project BOS’ image through the grassroots with a view to building a moral followership; model Lagos, showing young achievers who are bold enough to identify with what the government is doing in the state and give their support and endorsement.
