Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC), in conjunction with Joe Nwiloh Heart Foundation, has organised health and safety training in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.

The Director General of the LSSC, Mr. Lanre Mojola, said the corps members were being trained to prevent them from becoming victims of CPR.

He said in tandem with the current administration’s policy, especially on safety and health issues, his agency had made it a matter of urgency to carry youths along, particularly on how to prioritise their health and safety, “especially now that we are in post-COVID-19 pandemic era.”

Mojola said cardiac arrest can be curbed through health and safety measures put in place by the agency, in conjunction with other health and safety agencies.

He said the 200 youth corps members selected for the training would become Lagos Safety Ambassadors, to ensure health and safety standards are improved in the state.
