Radio Lagos threw together a career development thing for young people trying to figure out their professional lives in Nigeria's rough job market. The session called From Interns to Industry Leaders brought current interns and youth corps members together to work on skills and network with people who might actually help them get somewhere.

General manager Olajide Isiaka Lawal told the crowd at the Oconnect Symposium that how bright they want their future to be is completely on them. He pushed students to take school seriously and start thinking about who they want to become down the line, saying the station will keep building opportunities for local youth to gain real experience.

Bisi Omidire from EKO FM said the program gives interns practical skills while working on actual local issues, telling participants to ask questions and make connections instead of just sitting there taking notes. Jermaine Sanwoolu from the Lagos State Office of Diaspora Affairs told everyone to stop thinking small and use technology to chase bigger goals.
