The summit equally marked the official launch of the Igbogbo Youth Forum (IYF) Education Fund, a pivotal initiative aimed at providing educational resources and opportunities to underprivileged youth in the LCDA.

This summit not only celebrated the boundless potential of Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA's youth but also reinforced the LCDA's role as a catalyst for sustainable development in Lagos State.
