According to the Conference Coordinator, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi, the objectives of the programme include teaching the teenagers to take responsibility for their future; having their imaginations fired through interaction with accomplished professionals in the society; making them to realise that no matter the odds, they can reach their goals and getting them to understand that God still intervenes in the affairs of men.
The theme of the conference, being co-sponsored by The UBA Foundation, is “Your life, your Future: Not a Laughing Matter” while attendance will be by registration at a portal already opened at www.rccgteapteens.org. “It promises to be a day of fun with music, food and drinks as the teenager engage people they ordinarily would see only on television. It is a mentoring programme and I am happy that these otherwise busy people have agreed to come and spend time with teenager,” said Adeniyi.
