The Efik Leadership Foundation NGO is proud to announce the third edition of their upcoming youth leadership event celebrating Children’s Day titled “Unveiling the Leaders,” scheduled to take place in Akpabuyo. The event aims to empower 150 secondary school students from 11 secondary schools, providing them with the necessary tools and inspiration to become effective leaders and contribute to their communities through positive engagement.
“Unveiling the Leaders” is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to nurture the leadership potential within young individuals, encouraging their personal growth and instilling in them the qualities needed to make a difference in society. The event will bring together 150 motivated secondary school students from Akpabuyo, Bakassi, and Calabar, creating a platform for learning, collaboration, and community impact.
The guest speakers for this year include Obo Effanga (Resident Electoral Commissioner , Edo State), Engr Ekpe Ita (former CRSHA member & Community leader) and Elizabeth Ita (CEO Stilt.ng & Digital Polymath).
