Five thousand youths from the South East States, including Rivers and Delta, are expected to converge on Owerri, the Imo State capital, for a mentorship and entrepreneurial skills training programme.

The event organised by the Miracle Anyanwu Foundation (MAF) and the Faith Life Leadership Entrepreneurship (FLE) will also have 500 of the lucky participants empowered financially to start their own businesses after the training .

Founder of MAF and FLE, Dr. Miracle Anyanwu, speaking to journalists on the modalities of the event tagged “FLE Festival”, which is scheduled to hold on November 22, explained that it’s designed to help and encourage the youths to discover and “key into their potential dreams”.

He said the initiative was conceived out of a personal commitment to contribute to the advancement of Nigerian youths, whom he described as very important to the country’s future.

“FLE Festival is driven by my passion for the development, and welfare of Nigerian youths. This is not just another gathering, it is a life-changing experience designed to equip, inspire, and propel young people toward success,” he said.

The conference, he added, will feature lectures by seasoned speakers, awards, empowerment sessions, musical performances, and both indoor and outdoor games.

Also, each participant, he disclosed, would be gifted with a tablet, laptops and various food items after the event. (SUN)
