adsIn the discourse of building a sustainable economy, securing a nation or establishing family legacy, there must be ethical men to drive this future.

However, a silent concern is growing at the foundational level of Nigeria’s human capital pipeline: the neglect and cultural misconditioning of the boy-child.

At the recent 5th Anniversary Summit and Book Unveiling of the Boy-Child Transformation Centre (BTC) held in Lagos, a high-level panel of policymakers, leadership experts, and civil society leaders gathered to address this developmental blind spot.

The consensus was clear: raising emotionally intelligent, ethically grounded boys is no longer just a social preference—it is a macroeconomic requirement for a thriving society and a secure economy.

Since its inception in 2021, the BTC has stood at the frontline of this advocacy. Over the past five years, the center’s mandate has undergone a strategic transition—evolving from merely protecting young boys from immediate societal hazards to actively equipping them to become the conscientious role models, collaborative CEOs, ethical statesmen, and dedicated fathers of tomorrow.adsads
