To give back to the community, the Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) utilised this funding to organise the 2024 National Head Girl Conference under the theme, “Girls’ Vision for the Future – Young Voices, Big Impact”. This year’s conference, expanded through this support, welcomed head boys as allies to foster a collaborative spirit in leadership and featured a social innovation competition. The top five finalists showcased impactful solutions to societal issues, with the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy (LJLA) honoured to serve as a judge during the final stage.

Mr Tunde Onakoya, Founder of Chess in Slums Africa, was also celebrated for his work in using chess as a tool for social change, empowering underprivileged children with critical thinking and problem-solving skills. At LLS 2024, Mrs Abosede Alimi George-Ogan, Founder of the Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN), was honoured for her work in promoting women’s leadership and creating platforms for women to engage. WILAN was recognised with the Governor’s Award for Outstanding Leadership.
