Dare to be different

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT is that forum where young people from different disciplines within our society come to hear from the excelled and established of our time, birthing in them a greater vision for life and inspiring them to greater heights as they scale the ladder of success.



The maiden edition of this program was held in June 2007 with about 7000 youths in attendance. Every aspect of the program was oversubscribed and it catalyzed a lot of things for the youth.

Apart from the Media mileage for sponsors and the open confessions of youths who have being awakened to their innate capacities for the first time, it emphasized the missing link in government attempts to communicate with or change the mindsets of our youth.

Responses from the past programs keep streaming in till date and in 2009, we believe for an even greater package. We believe in the abundance of potential especially amongst Nigerian youths and for many, this forum would be the necessary thrust for them to proceed to channel their energies in positive directions.

In 2009, this Event will parade top echelon Executives in the Nation’s Corporate Terrain such as Mr. Gamaliel Onosode, Chief Michael Adeojo, Dr. Erastus Akingbola, Mr. Tayo Aderinokun, Dr. Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, Chief Cosmas Maduka, Mr. Ben Bruce, Dr. John Momoh, Mrs Ibukun Awosika, Mr. Bola Akingbade, Mr. Foluso Phillips, Mr. Fela Durotoye, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Dr. Mrs. Doyin Abiola, Doyin Abiola, Mr. Mitchell Elegbe, Mrs. Iquo Ukoh, Mr. Toyin Subair, Tara Fela-Durotoye to mention just a few.

In the Public Sector, we will play host to Prof. Dora Akunyili, Engr. Ernest Ndukwe, Dr. Balarabe Musa, Hon. Farouk Lawan, Hon. Abike Dabiri, Mrs. Eugenia Abu amongst others.
