Here it is, the Sights and Sounds of the A-Students Speech Contest... So, the main idea of the Speech Contest was to provide a platform for secondary school students to air their views about the state of the nation as well as the unique role that education plays in global transformation. The Adekunle Ajasin University team of the Ambassadors of Africa (@AOAfrica1) therefore brought together students from various secondary schools in the Akoko area of Ondo State, Nigeria to speak on the topic "Education: a veritable tool for National Development". The event, which turned out to be an incredibly inspiring one, proved the fact that #Education is indeed the key to Sustainable Development. At the end of the contest, the winners were: First position - Community High School, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Second Position - Greater Tomorrow College, Arigidi-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Third Position - Mount Camel Girls Grammar School, Ikare Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria "Project A-Students" is one of our cardinal projects which aims at "...raising excellent students, a student at a time" and through this project, we have positively impacted over 22,500 students in several African communities. While this project is seeks to inspire the next generation of world leaders, we have strategically focused on helping young people in rural communities reach their fullest potentials. The success stories of this project over the years and the passion with which these students delivered their speeches has inspired to do more. Because, after all, the world needs us; our generation needs us and posterity awaits. While I, today celebrate this team of vibrant, dutiful, proactive, and highly resourceful young leaders, I urge you to join hands with us as we make #QualityEducation available and accessible to people of every age, gender, background and social status. This is our #Mandate; our #Quest! #TeamAOA #AOAfrica #Ambassadors_of_Africa #ProjectAStudents #ProjectSIP #Impact #Leadership #Training #Students #Teachers #Mentors #Educators #SDGs #GlobalGoals #SustainableDevelopment #SDG4 #SDG17 #SDG4Advocate #WISE17 #CEAC17 #WISEDelegate #CASEAfrica #Millenials #GlobalLeaders #ESD (at Akungba, Ondo, Nigeria)

--- NEXT PROJECT ALERT --- If you are in Akungba this evening, make sure you don't miss this event. Brainstorm is a project by @AOAfricaOrg that aims at bringing young people together to discuss and tackle pungent national and global issues. We go on personal ideation and then come together to have intelligent discussions around a selected topic with a view to developing strategic actions for youths, organizations and even governments to take in solving pungent problems. The seventh edition of this project will, today, focus on "Godfatherism in Nigerian Politics" and we are all super excited to bare our minds. As we prepare to celebrate Nigeria's 58th Independence and the national elections in a few months, this particular edition of the forum becomes highly important. Yes, I will be there. Brainstorm ...ideas for global transformation. Ambassadors of Africa ...building Africans into global giants. ------------------------------------------------- #AOAfrica #AOAfricaOrg #TeamAOA #Brainstorm #ProjectAStudents #CoLearnHub #ProjectSIP #Governance #Youths #Elections #Nigeria #Godfather #Godfatherism (at Adekunle Ajasin University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoOxmU_nS9p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tqmu6qwpklf0

Throwback to when I had the honour of speaking to hundreds of Nigerian youths from various Nigerian tertiary institutions as a Panelist at the 'Meet The Alumni' Forum of the @EnactusNigeria National Competition. @Enactus has, over the years, been a training ground for young social entrepreneurs to learn, network with other young leaders, and grow as changemakers while using free enterprise as a tool for creating social change. As a distinguished #Alumnus of this great organization (then #SIFE - Students In Free Enterprise), I had the opportunity of inspiring these emerging leaders by sharing my vast experience as a social innovator. Speaking on the incredible works that we are doing at the Ambassadors of Africa (@AOAfricaOrg) especially with regards to our #ProjectAStudents which aims at improving the access of children in sub-Saharan Africa to quality education, I challenged the participants to look within their communities to identify specific problems and SOLVE IT. In life, we have been strategically placed wherever we are to be solution providers and we must know that there is nothing like meeting the needs of our people. As I did back then, I urge you all ladies and gentlemen to step out of your comfort zones and find a problem to solve. We must be proactive and committed to causing transformational change everywhere we are. Your community needs you, our nation need us and the world will only become a better place when we all do our best in creating positive change. Together, we will create a better world. #TeamAOA #GlobalGiants #ChangeAgents #Leaders #Millenials #Inspiration #AfricanAmbassadors #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalGoals #SDGs #SDG4 #QualityEducation (at Ondo State)

Representing Africa at #WISE17 has been a great pleasure and an honour indeed to talk about the amazing things that we are doing at the Ambassadors of Africa (@aoafricaorg) through #ProjectAStudents. Learning about the various innovative ideas that people, organizations and governments all over the world are employing towards improving the quality of education globally, I am inspired that if we begin to tap into our unique abilities to 'create' and work together as agents of positive change, we will transform our educational systems and indeed build a better world. This, therefore, is a call to all of us, changemakers across this continent, to spark up our sense of responsibility and begin to do our best towards changing the status quo. Even though literacy level in the world has reached 90%, millions of school aged children in sub-Saharan Africa are still out of school and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the problems we face today are prevalent. We must do something, and we must do it NOW! If we seek a better future, if we truly have the interest of our nations at heart, if we care enough for the generations coming after us, then we must join hands to make this change happen. This is the time when we must innovate and take significant actions towards making Africa great. This is my mandate; my quest. #Education #Innovation #Collaboration #GlobalGoals #SDGs #SDG4 #Africa #Create #Development #TeamAOA #Educator #Student #QNCC #Doha #Qatar @wiseqatar @aqdarws @gesforum (at Doha)

We are ready for BrainStorm 5.0 by @AOAfricaOrg. BrainStorm is a forum where young intellectuals discuss the roles that the youths can and must play in transforming our world into a better place. By first highlighting the problems facing our community and our world, we come together to find lasting solutions to these problems. BrainStorm, therefore, is a platform where ideas for global transformation are birthed. At BrainStorm 5.0, we shall discuss the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in relation to Nigeria. We shall also discuss how we, as young people, can take responsibility of strategic actions towards achieving these goals with a view to creating a better; more sustainable world for all. Finally, we shall breakout into sessions to develop real solutions to actual problems under 5 (out of the 17) Sustainable Development Goals.

This is the team in whom I am well pleased... The Adekunle Ajasin University team (#TeamAAUA) of the Ambassadors of Africa (@AOAfrica1) recently organized a Speech Contest amongst secondary school students in the Akoko area of Ondo State, Nigeria. As an offshoot of the organization's A-Students Project, it turned out to be a revealing, engaging and highly inspiring event. The students delivered their well prepared speeches on the topic "Education as a tool for National Development". After the event, it became a proven fact that for sustainable development to happen in the world #QualityEducation must be the key and everyone; every nation must play its part in making this happen. Education must be made available and accessible to people of every age, gender, background and social status. Over the years, we have visited these schools to train the students on academic excellence, career development, leadership, team work, and so on. Through this project, we have positively impacted the lives of over 22,500 students in about 5 countries and now, we are excited to do more. The speech contest reassured us that we are doing the right thing and that when we work together to inspire the next generation, we can indeed make the world a better place. So today, I am happy to share my excitement about the success of this project with you all. In this post, I am revealing the team of proactive young leaders, students who have stepped out of their comfort zones to make extraordinary things happen. In my next post, I shall share "The Sights and Sounds of the A-Students Speech Contest", something like that... So, watch out! #TeamAOA #AOAfrica #Ambassadors_of_Africa #ProjectAStudents #ProjectSIP #Impact #Leadership #Training #Students #Teachers #Mentors #Educators #Photography #SDGs #GlobalGoals #SustainableDevelopment #SDG4 #SDG17 #SDG4Advocate #WISE17 #CEAC17 #WISEDelegate #CASEAfrica #GlobalGiants #GlobalLeaders #HappySunday (at Ondo State)
