SAIL | AN INITIATIVE OF TACT ( TOKUNBO ABIRU CONSTITUENCY TEAM ) FOUNDATION

Senator Tokunbo Abiru of the Lagos East Constituency, as part of his initiative to drive youth empowerment, has partnered with Co-Creation HUB to develop a Community Innovation Space for young people within the Lagos East Senatorial District.

The primary purpose of the innovation space is to create employment opportunities, inspire grass-roots innovations and build partnerships & networks that will drive economic prosperity and collaboratively solve significant social and business problems.

SAIL (SENATOR ABIRU INNOVATION LAB) is a unique space that offers cross-functional programmes and opportunities, as well as a basic foundation that can inspire young people in Lagos East (students, graduates, entrepreneurs, job seekers) to gather, learn and create. The space will foster a comfortable and safe environment that will encourage young people to see it as their second home.

The Space is positioned to achieve the following:

Provide an opportunity for a coworking/ resource space for young people to learn, explore and discover
Serve as an Incubation Space for Entrepreneurs in the Community that encourages idea development and validation
Serve as a place where young people can participate in training programmes for both soft skills (software development, technology) and vocational skills (tailoring, catering, fashion design)
Provide early child introduction to science technology engineering mathematics (STEM)
Run social programmes and motivational sessions (game nights, movie nights, exercise breaks, speaker series) that make participants feel like they are in a comfortable environment
Opportunity for lifelong learning for Small Business Owners, Teachers, and Parents
