The 2025 Leadership of the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Nigeria, the leading youth organisation, has unveiled eight flagship projects in line with its ELV8 theme for the year.
Speaking during the inaugural Press conference to herald the beginning of the administration held at the Radisson Hotel, Ikeja GRA, on Saturday, January 5, 2025, the 2025 JCI Nigeria President Oluwatoyin Atanda disclosed that the flagship projects embodied the principles of tri-sector leadership and strategic pillars of the ELV8 leadership philosophy.
Atanda explained further that the projects aim to elevate JCI’s impact in Nigeria, foster collaboration, and build a sustainable future for its members and communities.
According to her, the eight project pillars include the Ten Outstanding Young Person Programme (TOYP), the Creative Young Entrepreneur (CPE), the Training Institute, Conferences, Partnerships, Memberships, Brand and Communications, and the National Secretariat.
She noted that each flagship project will have a dedicated project team responsible for planning, execution and evaluation, while performance metrics and regular progress reports will ensure transparency and accountability.
She added that feedback from members and stakeholders will be actively sought to continuously monitor, evaluate, improve, and refine the projects and ensure they all deliver on their mandate.
Speaking on the ELV8 theme, Atanda described it as a story of evolution and impact. She noted that JCI Nigeria embarked on a remarkable growth, transformation, and impact journey, each year building upon the foundation laid out in the previous year and culminating in a vision of holistic and sustainable leadership.
“The ELV8 flagship projects will elevate JCI Nigeria’s mission, creating a lasting and meaningful impact on our members, communities and society at large. By focusing on these strategic initiatives, JCI Nigeria will lead the way in sustainable, inclusive and impactful leadership”.
