Oluwatoyin Atanda, the 2025 national president of Junior Chamber International (JCI) Nigeria, has been named the most outstanding national president among more than 100 leaders of the global youth organisation.
The announcement was made on Saturday, November 8, during the gala night of the JCI world congress held in Tunis, Tunisia.
Atanda, who also serves as senior special assistant to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, on establishments and training, dedicated the award to all members of JCI Nigeria, particularly the 2025 executive team.
“This is a proud moment for me and JCI Nigeria. Our ELV8 theme – rising together for a sustainable future, redefining leadership, and inspiring others to lead with purpose – has truly paid off,” she said.

Since assuming leadership of the organisation in January this year, Atanda pledged to inspire transformational change by mobilising Nigerian youth, promoting community development, and positioning JCI Nigeria as a leader in social impact both locally and globally.
At the world congress, Atanda also received a certificate of appreciation on behalf of JCI Nigeria for the organisation’s exceptional global impact and contribution to the 2025 JCI impact drive.
She said the recognition reflects Nigeria’s commitment to advancing the UN sustainable development goals (UNSDGs) and shaping the 2025 JCI Impact report.
