Chairman of the Board of Advisors of the ‘ Why I Am Alive’ initiative, Ituah Ighodalo hopes that the conversations at the event will serve as a shining example for the attendees. According to him, “We are looking towards a great event that will impact lives and inspire people to greatness. Nigeria is in dire need of change and everyone should dig in and discover why they are really alive, we want to thank our sponsors and speakers and of course those who will be attending.
