*Call For Mentors: Join AODI’s Global Mentorship Programme* In the vast and vibrant continent of Africa, a dream is taking shape – a dream to unlock the potential of its youth, to fuel their aspirations with knowledge, and to unleash the power of education upon their minds. Yet, the path to this dream is fraught with challenges. Limited resources, restricted access to education, and societal expectations weigh heavily on Africa's youth. Still, their hunger for mentorship shines as brightly as the African sun, a beacon of hope undimmed by adversity. Today, we issue a call for mentors to answer the cries of these eager minds. We seek individuals with the zeal, wisdom, knowledge and inner motivation to eagerly impact and willingly to sow seeds of empowerment and fulfilment in the fertile soil of the youth in Africa and beyond. Africa’s youth are like seeds themselves, brimming with potential, bursting with untapped talent, ready to blossom into tomorrow’s leaders. They need guidance, support, and a little nourishment to thrive in today's academic wilderness. We ask: Who among you will answer the cry of these youth? Who will heed the call of Africa's future? The time is now. The harvest of greatness awaits. The future of Africa is being crafted today, in the minds and hearts of these young individuals, but they need your wisdom, your experience, and your mentorship to cultivate their talents and water their dreams. Rise up, noble mentors, rise up! Your time has come to light the path to success, to guide these young minds through the maze of academia, and to unlock the treasures hidden within them. Join AODI’s Global Mentorship Programme and make a lasting impact. Together, let’s nurture the leaders of tomorrow.

It has been a fulfilling past five days at the Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University learning, relearning program. The quality of the curriculum of the Venture in Management Program cannot be overemphasized. This is a simple and summarized Daily recap of the sessions that stood out to me ✅ Day 1- Dr Henrietta Onwuegbuzie emphasized the fact that you want to make impact and change the world doesn’t mean you can’t have a profitable business. People pay for the value and impact of your product or solution ✅ Day 2- Investment in Human Resources is never an effort in futility. This was emphasized by Mitchell Elegbe of Interswitch Group and I believe it is evident in the perceived work culture of people of #TheSwitch. Also, he emphasized the ability to get inspiration and learn from people from afar or through relationships with them without necessarily naming them mentors and coach for life and that really resonated with me cause I have a lot of people I learn from who probably do not know I exist. ✅ Day 3- Our facilitator Segun Shogbanmu taught us that analysis of business problems goes way beyond all that meet the eye. And there is a difference between perceived problems and real problems which is why the ability to differentiate this as a business leader. Making great business decisions is a result of excellent business problem analysis ✅ Day 4- Atinuke Ngozi Babatunde MSc, MBA, Doctoral Research Candidate shared profound insights on the importance of personal branding, emphasizing its impact on relationships, influence, market positioning, and expertise. ✅Day 5- This was a day of learning from my colleagues and team mates about how beautiful teamwork. It was beautiful how young people can come up with solution to business problems in such a short while. It reinforces my believe in the ability of young people to change Nigeria✅ Special shout-out to Foluso Gbadamosi, and the entire team of Junior Achievement Nigeria and the entire team of sponsors PARTHIAN PARTNERS, GBfoods, Mastercard. And also to all the #vimp2023 cohort and class of 2023.

Experience Sharing that made a transformational difference! (Day 2 at VIMP 2023) It has been splendid so far, but I was privileged yesterday to sit under the knowledge and experience sharing session by the Group Managing Director at Interswitch Group , Mr. Mitchell Elegbe He mentioned some pointers that resonated deeply, here are a few; • Your customers perceived value of you and your firm is key! • Strive for Operational, Marketing, sales & Service and System Excellence • The "Tooth Pick theory": Be street smart even after an MBA because that is what matters and is applicable • If you have a solution and people are not willing to pay for it, you don't have a solution, stop deceiving yourself • You can learn from notable individuals who might not directly be your mentors. Therefore, learning from a distance is encouraged • In all you do and strive for, DON'T LET GO OF YOUR SPIRITUALITY. How he went about his discussion of Interswitch Group and how the company has made tremendous progress over 2 decades was outstanding, thus, emphasising to us the need to have great business models, which in his words means, "a company's secret of making money." More so, the fact that he mentioned what he learnt from his wife Mrs. Mercy Elegbe amongst other notable people he had learnt from, was so intriguing that the class gave a massive reaction filled with excitement and happiness. Such a balanced exceptional man, I must say! His session was the main highlight for me amongst other impactful sessions; A very interesting case study analysis on Innoson Vehicles, Entrepreneurship Essentials I - III taken by Dr Henrietta Onwuegbuzie and Business Models and Business Plans by Mr. RICHMOND OKAFOR Here's to more transformational learning at VIMP 2023 at the Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University. Junior Achievement Nigeria, I feel so special and I believe it's same for my fellow other 99 participants and it owes to the fact that you all as a team carefully, intentionally and in details planned and executed these wonderful line up of sessions JUST FOR US. Thank you immensely! #ViMP #ViMP2023 #JAN #JANigeria #JuniorAchievementNigeria

Happy World Skills Day Today, we celebrate World Skills Day, a significant occasion that highlights the importance of equipping young people with essential skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. In this spirit, I want to emphasize the transformative impact of initiatives like the Ajira Digital Program and YOMA programs on the lives of Kenyan youth. The Ajira Digital Program has been a game-changer, providing us with the digital skills necessary to thrive in the modern job market. By offering training and mentorship, Ajira empowers us to tap into online work opportunities, promoting self-reliance and economic growth. This program not only bridges the gap between education and employment but also fosters innovation and creativity among young Kenyans. Similarly, the YOMA (Youth Agency Market) programs have been instrumental in connecting us with meaningful opportunities. Through YOMA, we gain access to various platforms that support our educational, professional, and personal development. These programs help us build a strong foundation for our futures, encouraging us to harness our potential and contribute to our communities. On this World Skills Day, let's celebrate our achievements and acknowledge the efforts of organizations like UNICEF Kenya, EKYAN, and SAP Educate to Earn. Their support has been invaluable in promoting youth empowerment and skill development. As we look forward to a brighter future, let us continue to embrace these opportunities, remain committed to personal growth, and work towards a greener and more sustainable Kenya. #WorldSkillsDay #eMobilis #AjiraDigital #UReport #YouthSkills #Empowerment #CelebrateSkills #YouthPotential #UNICEFKenya #BeGreen #EKYAN #Yoma #SAPEducateToEarn #YouthSkills #Empowerment Together, we can unlock the full potential of our generation and create a better world for all. With optimism and determination, Clifford Okoth
