Addressing the youths at the 2024 Annual Conference, organised by Impact Christian Life Ministry in Lagos ,the Founder, Impact Christian Life, Dr John Osuoha, advised the participants which ranged from young professionals, undergraduates and secondary school students to acquire leadership skills in order to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the society.

” This year’s Annual Conference aims at redirecting the youths from the ills in the society. It was organised to empower them for impactful living and positive contributions to the development of the society. They were challenged on the path of greatness and the need for acquisition of leadership skills for enhanced contribution to societal needs”, Osuoha explained.

Corroborating him, Assistant Director, Global Business, CISI, Helena Wilson, who addressed the participants virtually, encouraged them to place premium on acquisition of certifications in their professional development to enable them compete globally.

Such certifications enable the beneficiaries to become more versatile in finance and investment, provide lucrative jobs locally and internationally and create opportunities for self-employment with minimal initial capital.

The first Vice President of National Advisory Council (NAC) of CISI in Nigeria, Obinna Okafor spoke extensively on how the participants can develop the power to say no and act right at all times.

Another NAC Member, Abiodun Adebimpe, the Second Vice President, enlightened them on how to become a topmost achiever through clear vision, being focused, diligent and avoid distractions and other destiny killers.
