“Thank you for the passion, the intelligence, the insights, the shared experiences and above all, the strong sense of brotherhood / sisterhood and unity – you’ve all given me so much, I can’t quite believe that it was only 3 days and 3 nights.”

“It was an amazing event. Met some truly wonderful and inspirational people. My hope is renewed and I have rededicated myself while learning some useful lessons on how to effect lasting change in people’s lives. I am so glad that I went. Thank you!!!”
Sadiq Usman, Associate, J.P. Morgan, United Kingdom
“Once again, thank you both for providing me with the privileged opportunity to be part of the May seminar. It was a truly transformational experience – one that provoked me to think differently about my role in Nigerian society; that made me realise that I even had a role – a duty to change my country; and that I could play a role – a pivotal one in helping to shape the future of our great nation.
The most surprising thing was learning what I don’t know and highlighting what I need to know – like learning more about our Nigerian history, Constitution, politics, and economy. I need to & can do more to make a difference – from making little sacrifices to committing to bigger responsibilities. Thank you all again for inspiring me, empowering me with the relevant knowledge & skills, enabling me to meet, learn from and build lasting relationships with outstanding individuals, and transforming me into an individual that is capable of transforming Nigeria. I left Nigeria feeling like I was part of something big – revolutionary, and now part of a group that would make history by changing the future: May 21 – 23 was one of the most productive weekends of my life.”
Tara Idiegbe, Graduate Student, Harvard Business School, US
