The Pastor Bimbo Odutola Foundation has charged students in secondary schools across to embrace good leadership skills that would distinguish them in their future endeavours.
The foundation, which recently trained over 330 senior secondary school prefects from over 13 secondary schools in Lagos state, targets students on different fields where leadership skills are applicable.
Discourse focus included first aid, personal branding, building healthy relationship, behavioural and attitudinal pattern, technology, amongst others.
Speaking at the two-day event, the foundation head of programmes and partnership, Mrs. Aderonke Oyelakin, said the seminar would meet its objectives, which was to raise a generation of leaders that would positively impact posterity in all ramifications.
Oyelakin said PEP project was taken to schools as there had been “no targeted leadership building progrommes” to develop the leadership potential of prefects in public secondary schools in order to position them to be role models to their junior class.
She said, “This will help them to identify and develop their personal strength and leadership potentials so as to give back to the society as they grow.”
Coordinator of the foundation, Mrs. Osasu Paul-Azino, said the program was initiated to “equip them (the students) to be comfortable and confident in their skins so as to be good and effective leaders from now before they leave secondary school.’’
Speaking on first aid, Dr. Ena-Tobor of Traumacare International Foundation hinted on tips for nose bleeding, cardio pulmonary resuscitation. She also highlighted keys to note for first aid to include danger, response and sending for help.
