PRESS RELEASE

AND TO JOINTLY IMPACT THE LIVES OF YOUTH THROUGH A LIFE TRANSFORMING SUMMIT
SEPT, 29,

[Yaba, Lagos]
Imagine a summit like never experienced,
where Nigerian youths and especially students from the higher institutions in
Lagos state such as Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State Polytechnic
(LASPOTECH), Federal College of Education Technical (FCET), Yaba College of
Technology (YCT), and the first choice institution, University of Lagos
(UNILAG), as well as some selected senior secondary school student
participants, would all be converging at a life-transforming summit of the year
2014.
The summit also known as “THE AMBASSADORS
SUMMIT” will be held in the main auditorium of the University of Lagos. This
will take up nothing less than two thousand (2,000) Nigerian youth (mostly
students). The Ambassadors, a Youth
Empowerment Initiative, is a brainchild of ‘The
Ambassadors Radio Show’ on Nigeria’s First University Radio Station, Unilag
103.1FM which is aired live on Sundays by 5pm to 6pm. This initiative was
established by Prince Joshua Oyeniyi, a multiple award winning speaker, writer,
University of Lagos Ambassador and radio host, to provide solutions to the
challenges of unemployment, unemployability, lack of marketable skill set, poor
business skills and entrepreneurial powers, low self esteem, amongst many other
encountered by the youth population through seminars, symposia, forums,
conferences and workshops powered by highly experienced, skilled and successful
Nigerians referred to as ‘THE AMBASSADORS’. This summit will be part of a
nationwide effort to draw attention for the good of the Nigerian youths with a
theme of the year tagged “You can be more!” The set theme serves to motivate
every participant to do their parts in further impacting every other Nigerian
youth, so that they can as well get inspired and equipped in the 21st
century. According to the planned concept of the summit, over two thousand
intelligent and educated youths from higher learning institutions in Lagos
state as well as senior secondary school students will be spreading words about
the important role of great acts of an individual to be more.
One of the very great things to note is
that THE AMBASSADORS SUMMIT will be majorly partnered by a standard and viable
organization which is both a locally and internationally recognized African
Youth Impacting and empowerment foundation called “GLEEDH FOUNDATION”
