The first cluster of the Illumination Mentorship Programme, held at St. Joseph Centenary School in Ilorin, has been hailed as a huge success. The programme, designed to empower secondary school students with essential life skills and knowledge, drew participants from several schools, including St. Anthony Secondary School, C and S Secondary School, St. Barnabas High School, and Anglican Grammar School.
Distinguished guests who attended the event included Mr. Solomon Kolo, Deputy Director of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), and representatives from the Governor’s office media crew, NAWOJ, Daily Source, and News Agency of Nigeria.
The Executive Director and Deputy Director of NOA charged participants to stay focused, have direction, discipline, and character as pivotal elements in shaping their future. Students were encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop essential strategies and life skills, and to be open to guidance, feedback, and constructive criticism.
The programme aims to provide mentorship, academic support, and life skills development to secondary school students, particularly SS2 pupils, and empower them to succeed academically and become valuable contributors to society.
The success of the first cluster is a testament to the commitment of Passion for Peace Initiative (PPI) to empowering the next generation of leaders.
