Makoko residents to get entrepreneurship skills to boost income

An organisation focused on skills training, Klinic, has concluded arrangements to organise an eight-week free entrepreneurship/skills training for residents of Makoko, a popular slum in Lagos State; beginning from the last week of February.

Makoko is a floating fishing village located in Yaba, Lagos. The community is arguably the biggest fishing community in Lagos, but it is characterised by lack of basic social amenities such as: electricity, quality education, and healthcare facilities among others.
