From February to April 2024, the Boy Child Conversation School Tour embarked on a mission to empower and influence the next generation of young men. Driven by the theme “Influence – Inspiring the boy child to secure a better future,” this impactful initiative visited five schools across Lagos, Nigeria, engaging over 300 boys in transformative discussions.

At the heart of the tour was a commitment to build upon the conversations and insights from a previous conference. Mentors such as Seun Ajayi, Damilola Onafuwa, Michael Ama Psalmist, Emeka Filmwox Chinedu, Vincent Mayaki, Godwin AdedejiEbebbe Okechukwu, and Edinrin Aghoghovbia lent their expertise, wisdom, and personal experiences to inspire the attendees. The message was clear: the boy child must understand that success is within reach, as those who have come before them have paved the way. With the right guidance and influence, these young men can secure a brighter tomorrow.

The tour visited renowned institutions, including Boy Academy Lagos Island, Wahab Folawiyo High School, Eko Akete Grammar School, Akande High School, and Government Senior College, Ikoy. In each location, the team facilitated engaging discussions, fostered mentorship connections, and empowered the participants to recognize their potential and take ownership of their futures.

This impactful school tour serves as a testament to the power of positive influence and the transformative impact it can have on the lives of young men. By tapping into the aspirations and dreams of the boy child, the initiative has laid the foundation for a generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers who will undoubtedly shape the future in profound ways.
