Timi Olagunju, a lawyer and a 2015 Mandela Washington fellow, has revealed his intention to help Nigerian youths soar beyond limitations.

Olagunju, who is a graduate of the University of Ibadan, would return to his alma mater on Saturday, to empower youths drive dreams at a programme titled: The B.E.L.I.E.F Initiative 2015.

According to him, the initiative is geared towards imparting possibilities in present-day teenagers, youths and young adults.

“Our core vision being that we envision a society of people who are confronted with daunting limitations but see through them, doggedly believe they can be surmountable and then tap into the world of endless possibilities lurking behind,” Sunday Fadipe, one of the organisers, said in a statement.

“We do this through the modes of speaking sessions, training and empowerment. The Initiative which was birthed in University of Ibadan will be returning to the same place for her first major event tagged, ‘iBelieve 2015’, on Saturday, October 10, 2015, with the theme, ‘#WhoSaysWeCan’t?’”

iBelieve 2015 will feature three outstanding speakers such as Lanre Daniels, CEO of Lardaar Consulting, who will be speaking on ‘from root to shoot; bringing an idea to fruition’; Folu Ajayi, CEO of House of Dabira, who will be speaking on “finding your voice in a noisy world; the unpopular path to self-discovery’; and Timi Olagunju, who just returned from a series of meetings with Mandela Washington fellows and President Barack Obama, will do justice to ‘dreaming and soaring beyond limitations’.

The event billed to start by 12noon, will also involve mentorship, networking opportunities and free consulting service for start-ups.

The organisers assure provision of opportunities for participants with business, humanitarian and other ideas to get direction, guidance and refining.
