On Friday, 30th June 2017, IAF Ambassadors were invited to train a good number of secondary school student during the Leaders’ Forum organised by Kinmayor Leadership Freak at the Lekki Worldwide Investment Limited. The topic of the program was “Uncovering and Developing Your Inner-Greatness". Our Ambassadors, Vincent Adeoba and Kehinde Fadare excitedly honoured the invitation as the program fits well into IAF’s objective of promoting excellence amongst students.

Vincent and Kehinde shared practical insights with the teenagers on how to become better students and make worthwhile investments in their future, even at their tender ages. Vincent went further to tell stories of great men within and outside Nigeria whose experiences and success stories were nothing short of "inspiring" for the students.

At IAF, we are hoping to make wider reach and get more opportunities to inspire more students across the continent because it’s a mandate we treasure and won’t dare to falter in.
