2017 Teens Conference

Cheating does not pay. Back in the days, that was usually a topic for an essay or a debate in secondary school. Given what I have learnt in almost one a half decades as a teacher in Teens church, such a topic would now sound very hollow in a milieu where examinatio­n malpractic­es have been deodorized into a positive word: Cooperatio­n!

To therefore rebuild our society, we must begin to inculcate in our young people the values of diligence and honest living. That is the basis of the RCCG (TEAP Zone) Abuja Teens Career Conference which started last year while the second edition is scheduled for next week Saturday, 26th August. With the theme, “Life is a Stage”, the invited speakers are veteran actor, Mr Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD); former Education Minister, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili; former Kaduna State Health Commission­er, Mrs Charity Shekari and the host, Pastor Eva Azodoh, a medical doctor (consultant urologist) and retired army colonel.

In bringing accomplish­ed profession­als and role models in the society to share their stories, we want the teenagers to learn how to find purpose for their own lives as well as how to avoid the distractio­ns that could prevent them from achieving such purpose. Attendance at this conference—usually a day of fun with music, food and drinks—is free but interested participan­ts need to visit
