Foundation launches skill acquisition, empowerment programme

The Folasade Olayinka Foundation (FOF) is once again taking bold steps to empower communities and strengthen local economies through its Free Skill Acquisition Programme 4.0 — a one-week intensive training for Lagos residents seeking sustainable livelihoods.

Focused on Digital Skills, Wig Making, Nails, Auto Gele, and Facials, the programme seeks to close the widening skill gap and create new pathways to financial independence.

FOF’s founder, Mrs. Folasade Olayinka, said the foundation’s mission is to transform lives by giving individuals the tools to thrive in today’s fast-changing economy.

“We’re not just training people; we’re helping them discover the power within to create value and wealth,” she said.

In a bid to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, the foundation has introduced a ₦1.5 million grant to support the best business ideas that emerge from the training sessions. Strategic collaborations with corporate bodies and financial institutions are also in place to ensure continuity and scalability.

Registration is currently open, and participants are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to “learn, earn, and grow.”

Through initiatives like this, the Folasade Olayinka Foundation continues to empower individuals, drive innovation, and contribute meaningfully to inclusive economic development in Lagos and beyond.
