Continuing, he said, “the Local government is prepared to partner with individuals or people who know how to do it so that we can raise the standards in every aspect because we can not sponsor all,” he said.

In addition, he said  that since the programme started, all the eight primary schools in the  Local government have been benefitting yearly, as the curriculum  is changed to avoid repetition of a particular programme and not make the programme boring to the participating students.

Olatunji enjoined other local governments to emulate the idea exhibited by the Alimosho Local government, so that  children in  their (other local governments) can be self employed after school years, While he advising that  parents should allow their children attend to programmes like this in other to make good citizens.
