JCI Nigeria Hosts Collegiate Conference “LAYIPO ’25” in Ibadan For Young leaders
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.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
