“Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu-led administration is committed to building a community where opportunity thrives, where everyone is not just self-sufficient, but a driving force for progress. Imagine a world where financial barriers are but a distant memory.”
He further stated that online registration has closed, while physical registration takes place between January 15 and 16, 2025.
