The Lagos State Government will hold its 2025 Job Fair on Thursday, September 11, at the Blue Roof, Lagos Television, Ikeja, bringing together job seekers, employers, and entrepreneurs under the theme “Your Career, Your Way: Explore Endless Possibilities.”
Organised by the Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment, the fair is aimed at tackling youth unemployment by linking thousands of participants with employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
According to Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Akinyemi Bankole Ajigbotafe, this year’s edition will feature on-the-spot interviews and recruitment by top organisations, career consultations, and panel discussions with industry leaders.
Breakout workshops will also cover résumé writing, interview preparation, digital skills, and entrepreneurship.
Ajigbotafe noted that over 3,000 participants attended the 2024 edition, with many securing jobs, adding that the 2025 fair will further bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.
Permanent Secretary, Wasiu Adebayo Olayinka, encouraged job seekers and young professionals to register, assuring that the state has made adequate preparations to ensure a successful event.
