‘Raising up
children in the ways they should go’ is an injunction in the Holy Book which is
being strictly followed and abided with by Nigeria’s foremost educational firm,
Edumark Nigeria, a company committed to raising role models among young people
of different ages through programmes geared towards changing their mindsets and
re-orientating them to believing in Nigeria.
As it’s customary
to them at Edumark, the drums would be rolled out again this year to mark the
10th edition of her programme, WATFON, which is an event created to
mentor students by major role models in the society and this edition will hold
on the 3rd of March, 2016 with more than 3000 final year secondary
school students in attendance.
With the
theme ‘‘I BELIEVE IN NIGERIA’’, the event is expected to be a celebration of great
expectation and hope on the future of our dear country, Nigeria.
Biola
Aroyehun, who is the coordinator of the project stated in a statement made
available to www.preciouseze.blogspot.com
that instilling a positive believe in one’s country especially within the
youthful population should be embraced by all.
“As a
nation, she says, there is no denying the fact that we have many issues that
need to be corrected, but it is important that we continue to hold onto positive
outlook for this country, explaining that the passion that has kept the program
running for 10 years has been the undying drive by the team at Edumark and all
WATFON role models to build a future whose leaders are nurtured with the right
values.
Mrs
Aroyehun, pointed out that some eminent personalities who have positively
affected the Nigerian youth would be honoured by the WATFON class of 2016,
which should send the right signals to everyone to emulate them in values and
personal attributes.
The very
first edition of WATFON was chaired by the late Sir Gamaleil Onosode and the program
has over the years, attracted other great leaders such as: General Yakubu
Gowon, Sir Emeka Anyaoku, Emeritus Professor J. P. Clark, Chief Folake Solanke
(SAN), Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Professor Akin Oyebode, Chief Ayo Oni etc.
WATFON 2016
would feature performances in: dance, drama, poetry, music and inspirational
talks from the role models.
