Within my capacity as a One Young World Counsellor, I was honoured to deliver a virtual goodwill message at the One Young World West & Central Africa Summit Send-Off on Friday at Stanbic IBTC Towers in Lagos, to the inspiring delegates preparing to represent our region in Munich this November.

One Young World continues to exemplify how local leadership can ignite global transformation, uniting more than 18,700 Ambassadors whose collective efforts have touched over 58 million lives worldwide. This extraordinary community demonstrates that when purpose is guided by proximity, collaboration, and discipline, our impact knows no borders, bridging African innovation with global momentum.

To all the delegates embarking on this journey, lead from where you stand, think beyond boundaries, and let your clarity of purpose illuminate the world!

My appreciation to Stanbic IBTC for their partnership in nurturing leadership that builds locally and launches globally.
