    Youths empowered at ‘Beyond Limits’ forum

    Youths from across Lagos converged on the Lekki Conservation Centre on Thursday, for a transformative experience at the ‘Beyond Limits’ youth empowerment forum, organized by real estate developer, speaker, and writer, Dare Arigbede.

    The forum, ‘Beyond Limits,’ offered a dynamic blend of music, talent development, games, and inspirational speeches.

    Speaking about the motivation behind the event, Arigbede emphasized the importance of empowering youth with the right knowledge to become catalysts for positive change in society.

    “The youths need to be empowered with the right knowledge, knowledge that can make them become better persons, contribute greatly to society, nation-building, and the world at large. We have young Nigerians excelling in all sectors, and our belief is that change can begin with them. They can impact and inspire others from where they are. At the end of the day, it’s not only about them. We are creating a paradigm shift that moves them from focusing on themselves to focusing on adding value to others.”

    One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of one hundred thousand naira cash gifts to final year university students to support their projects or tuition.

    The cash gift, endowed by Arigbede, aims to alleviate financial burdens and empower students to achieve their academic goals. Beneficiaries of the cash gifts include Seide Agosu, Odofin Oreoluwa, Alabi Debora, Suleimon Samad, Joseph Emmanuella, among others.
