Are you an entrepreneur that is seeking support? Do you have fantastic ideas? Well, if you are a Lagos state resident, there is very good news for you. It is simply called LSETF. If you haven’t heard about LSETF - the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund, it is a fund established by the Lagos State Government to help entrepreneurs grow and create employment for people living in Lagos state.

In Governor Ambode’s words, “the LSETF was created to galvanize the creative and innovative energies of all Lagos residents and ultimately improve their standard of living.” It was formally inaugurated in March 2016, and over the last few weeks, people have been educated on what the fund is and how it works.

Because the LSETF is for EVERYONE who lives in Lagos, the Board has decided to ask the people of Lagos how they think the fund should be managed. They want Lagos residents to suggest how the fund should be disbursed, fairly and transparently, who should get it and why. So, if you want to get involved in how the #LSETF should work, go to www.lsetf.ng to drop your comments. Join the conversation on Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/lsetfng/ or join theTwitter and Instagram conversation by following @LSETF and viewing the hashtag #OurLagosOurFunds.

In this period of economic downturn and unemployment, this initiative is simply wonderful. Congratulations Lagos residents.
