Every year since 2011, thousands of young Nigerians who are
making a difference in their different life and career endeavours converge to
chart a new course for Nigeria’s development. They take the lead and contribute
towards finding answers to burning questions that young Nigerians need to get ahead. The Emerging Leaders
Conference hosted by Guardians of the Nation International (GOTNI) has become
an economic and leadership convocation where issues concerning the role of
youths in nation building is discussed and action plans carried out.
Many award winning individuals and organisations have been
part of this conference in the last 6 years and this year is not an exception
as the theme is relevant to the times that the nation is in (the current
Nigerian socio economic realities).
The need for “Self reinvention: The trigger
for economic boom” is the major theme for this year’s Emerging Leaders
Conference and together with great brands like Heritage bank, PUNCH Newspapers,
Ford Foundation and Channels TV as well as the NYSC, the conference expects 1,
000 young influencers and emerging leaders who would have a revolutionised thought
pattern to further affect the country and Africa for the better.
The venue for this phenomenal event is The Civic Centre, Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, Victoria Island
Lagos and will take place on Friday October 21 to Saturday October 22, 2016.

David Oyedepo, Fmr. Governor Peter Obi, Dele Momodu, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa,

It is sure a packed event that passes for a knowledge fair
and impactful value adding to fix Nigeria’s economy one young mind at a time.
Nigerian young people have never had it better, and will be
charged to export their tech-savyness, business inspiration, entertainment
value and manufacturing prowess to the world after this event.
Speaking to the Convener, Linus Okorie he had this to say “the time is ripe for the rise of genuine
Nigerian brands and no better way than to self-evaluate, self-improve and
reinvent for a personal enterprise boom that will have a ripple effect on the
general economic eco-system.”
