Project LECT (Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Character Training) Ilorin, Kwara State Report

Project LECT is a mentorship program that aims to help young people in underserved communities to forge trajectory for their lives through leadership, character and entrepreneurship education. It's a form of early intervention program that enables high school students learn skills to help them fit into the larger society. 



Did you know that young people who grow up without having positive role models in their lives are 67 percent less likely to gain employment when leaving education. This is why we pay much emphasis to mentoring. To help students connect with the practical - real world. To teach them character in order to create a peaceful society and cope in a negative society. 


17/05/2017 Kayfactor Leadership Academy took a step further with Project L.E.C.T(Leadership and Entrepreneurship Training) to the North Central of Nigeria, Kwara State. The program was held at Government Day Secondary School, Fate Ilorin, Kwara State and Indomie Supported us with Indomie as well as some materials.

The program lasted for two hours. Started 10:00 am and ended by 12:00 pm. 

Mr. Onaopemipo Zubair, the first speaker spoke on entrepreneurship and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. He further talked about the benefits and the challenges of being an entrepreneur. As well as the skills to thrive as an entrepreneur. Finacial Management, Emotional Intelligence, Resilient, Integrity and Grit. In his words, he said and I quote "when you're an entrepreneur, you reach the premium".  


The Second speaker, Mr.
Muizudeen, spoke on character training and how to discover oneself, he made sure to discuss with students how they could read and understand and how they could be the best of themselves. He also shared some character tips. The act of forgiveness rather than violence. The act of truthfulness rather than deceit. Allowing students to distinguish between the right and the wrong. 

Mr. Bagbansoro, the third speaker spoke on leadership and he listed and communicated to the students the various characteristics of a good leader. Self awareness is also the first step to leadership and purpose discovery. What are you good at? What do you love? This were the critical questions that will help students identify who they really are. 

There was questioning and answering  session where students were allowed to ask questions and they were given responses by the volunteers. Students were also asked questions and they were given tokens as a means of encouragement. 


The Kwara State Coordinator Mr. Olatunji Taiye aka Pheminix thanked the teachers and students for hosting us and the students appreciated their teachers for the opportunity they were presented with. 

Mr. Aboki Rizvan, rounded up the points by discussing with the students about entrepreneurship.  He advised them on how they can use what they have and always learn to start small. 
  

Banky helped distribute the questionnaire to measure the short term impact of the project and 100% of our expectations were met. 
Over 150 students were reached.
