There are two ways to empower young people. One is to give them fish. The other is to teach them how to fish, how to own the pond, and how to teach others to do the same.
The Abia Leadership Academy, established by the Abia State Government under Governor Alex Otti, chose the second path.
This is not another programme for sharing cash or tricycles. It is a deliberate investment in the minds that will shape Abia’s future.
The founding philosophy of the Abia Leadership Academy is simple but profound: leaders are made through mentorship and a conscious decision to separate oneself from the crowd.
The Academy teaches sacred responsibility which leadership entails.
