Zero2Hero seminar holds tomorrow at UNILAG

All is now set for the take-off of the 2015 Zero2Hero Conference, which is slated to take place tomorrow at the main auditorium of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

Principal, Olakunle Soriyan Company, Mr. Olakunle Soriyan, who made disclosure at a media briefing in Lagos, explained that the “Zero2Hero” programme was a campus tour that transcends the box of motivation, bringing young people in contact with phenomenal individuals in the society, who have a compelling story to tell.

He said the conference was in line with the organisation’s commitment to youth development and nation building, adding that several speakers and panelists are expected to grace the forum targeted at encouraging the youths and influencing them to engage in meaningful and life-changing activities. Some of the speakers expected at the forum include: comedian Tejumade Babyface; Tiwa Soriyan, musician Timi Dakolo; radio presenter, Yaw of Wazobia FM; Taiwo Akinlami, Praise Fowowe, Paschal Okwundu and Yemi Ademulegun among others.

In his remark, Tejumade Babyface pointed out that many young people see only the glitz and glamour that surround celebrities, and miss out on their travails and struggles. This explains why he will pour out his heart to the young people at the forum.

Chief Executive Officer of Levels NG, Mr. Paschal Okwundu, stressed that Zero2Hero was designed to re-engineer the minds of young people using the power of heroic stories of the speakers.

The Access Bank team, official sponsors of the Zero2Hero conference remarked that their commitment to the general wellbeing of Nigerian youths informed their decision to partner with the team.
