His words: “The platform will enable participants to broaden their horizon, increase their experiences and foster international citizenships, thereby promoting exchange values, traditions and cultural diversity with a view to attaining global leadership.

The Commissioner explained that the participants have been thoroughly trained at the Y2021/2022 IBILE Youth Academy, as well as the Transformational Leadership Programmes, organised by the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, where they were taken through different leadership topics and tasks.

“The Chicago Exchange Programme is one of the commitments of the State Government to further build capabilities of the youth and transform them from local champions to global citizens that can compete favourably with their peers from any part of the world”, he added.

Recall that Miss. Funmilayo Akanni-Shelle, who represented the Ikorodu Division, emerged as the Y2021/2022 State Youth Ambassador alongside five Divisional Ambassadors across the State.
