Speaking at the summit, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF), Mr Akintunde Oyebode, said the state had set aside the sum of N25 billion for the growth of  small and medium scale enterprises. 
 
He said the state had taken steps to foster economic growth via capacity building and provision of necessary funds at a minimal interest rate and called on students to always take bold steps on their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.
