The Abia state government-sponsored Abia Leadership Academy is currently accepting applicants against the launch of the program after the close of registration on August 2nd.
The 7-day program created by the Alex Otti administration seeks to empower and prepare young Abians for the demands of leadership in a fast-changing world. The Program deliverables include Leadership development, Skills training, Goal setting, recognition, innovation, and Community Impact.
The Abia state government calls on Parents, Teachers, and Guardians to register their wards who stand a chance of being one of the 1000 applicants to be selected by the government for the program.
The age limit for the Program stands at 16 – 20 years, and the entire program is completely free and fully supported by the Abia state government. The Program Schedule includes weekend Sections and a community project afterwards.
An official certificate will be presented to all participants after the 7-day program, promising many benefits to the lucky selected individuals.
Incentives
Incentives for participating in the program abound, promising to empower young Abians with leadership qualities which come in handy in their future. Incentives include
1. Opportunity to network and interact with hundreds of other students from other institutions. Networking builds social currency, which is a very powerful leverage in current times.

3. Decent boarding facility for the duration of the programme with balanced meals to keep participants refreshed.
4. Mentorship and the opportunity to learn from leaders and accomplished individuals in different fields, including Governor Alex Otti and other role models.
