Ibadan is full with energy this week as student leaders from different universities and polytechnics across Nigeria troop into the city for this year’s JCI Nigeria Collegiate Conference, famously called LAYIPO ’25.
The conference, which is a key event for young people under the JCI Nigeria Collegiate body, is holding at Ilaji Resorts in Ibadan. It brings together hundreds of young, passionate individuals for leadership training, networking, and discussions aimed at building future changemakers.
In the weeks leading to the conference, there was a lot of excitement and anticipation both on radio and social media. One of the major highlights was the special LAYIPO ’25 session aired on Diamond FM, the University of Ibadan’s radio station, where people got more information about the event and what to expect.
As expected, the first day was filled with high energy. Football match took place between the different local organizations present. The opening ceremony was held on the second day. That day, delegates took part in sessions like Life After School (LAS), public speaking competition, alongside trainings about personal branding, and building ideas. Truly, the atmosphere amazing.
Throughout the conference, attendees have been participating in different training sessions covering topics like personal leadership, project management, campus development, and media relations. Earlier this year, JCI Nigeria Collegiate leaders visited the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Ibadan as part of their preparations. This shows JCI Nigeria’s commitment to building partnerships and young leaders in Nigeria.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
