The week-long Free Digital Skill Training came to a successful close on Friday, August 22, 2025, at Hon. Toyin Fayinka’s Constituency Office, with the presentation of certificates to over 200 participants. The event also doubled as the celebration of the 2025 International Youth Day.
Speaking at the grand finale, several high-profile youth and community leaders admonished Mushin youths to embrace the opportunities in digital skills rather than indulge in cybercrime. They urged participants to put into practice their newly acquired knowledge in videography, photography, and digital creativity to earn sustainable income and contribute positively to society.
Among the dignitaries present were Hon. Moremi Ojodu, SSA to the President on Community Engagement (South West); Hon. Owolabi Jamiu Falana, Permanent Board Member LASUBEB; Hon. Olatunbosun Aruwe Chairman Mushin Local Government; Hon. Ruth Lijirin, SSA to the Lagos State Governor on Civic Engagement; councillors, party stalwarts, and community leaders. They inspired the youths by sharing personal experiences and encouraging them to remain focused and consistent in developing themselves.
Hon. Toyin Fayinka, represented by his legislative aide Mr. Olufela Agoro, delivered the MHR’s goodwill message. He encouraged the beneficiaries never to relent in learning, assuring them of his continued commitment to youth empowerment and capacity development initiatives. He also urged them to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) exercise to register, update, or transfer their voter cards, stressing the importance of civic participation.
Hon. Fayinka further appreciated the facilitators, mentors, and partners particularly Yusluv Media and Craft Residence for their immense contributions to the success of the program.
