How to request assistance or apply
A good application or enquiry is specific: say which service is needed, explain the circumstances briefly and ask the official agency which evidence is required. Use the following route:
- Visit the Lagos Innovates programme page and read the current application status.
- Check device, internet, schedule and any residency requirements.
- Prepare a short learning plan and one portfolio project to complete after training.
Information to prepare before contacting an office
You may be asked for identity or residency information, school or medical records, a description of your situation, or evidence relevant to a specific programme. Requirements differ. Do not send sensitive records until an authorised office confirms a secure method.
- Your contact information: a reachable phone number or email address and the LGA/LCDA where you live.
- A clear request: what you need, why it matters now and whether there is an urgent deadline or safety risk.
- Relevant supporting records: the exact records required by the current programme, not every document you own.
A practical example
A student interested in web development can publish a simple accessible website; a data learner can analyse public statistics and explain their method.

Never pay a broker who claims to reserve a place in a programme described by the organiser as free.

Where should I begin?
Start with Lagos Innovates Talent Development 2026. Explain your situation and ask which department or application route handles it. If the agency is not responsible, request a referral to the appropriate office.
