JCI Nigeria is promoting youth leadership growth at its national convention (NatCon) scheduled for October 2026 in Ibadan, Oyo State. The convention's theme emphasizes the importance of leadership in improving society.
JCI Nigeria's president, Akinbod Abitogun, urged Nigerian leaders to prioritize the nation's interests and empower youth aged 18-40 with leadership skills. The convention is expected to gather around 1,500 participants, including members from JCI Africa and the Middle East.
Ibukunoluwa Otesil, the host president of JCI Ibadan, highlighted the significance of the convention logo, which reflects the heritage of Ibadan and the need for youth to sustain cultural legacies.
