YLIS 2026 | A Vision Brought to Life

Some moments make you pause and simply say, “We really did this.”

When we started planning the 2026 Youth Leadership & Innovation Summit (YLIS), it was first an idea - a vision to create a platform where young people could learn, connect, ask questions, and engage with conversations around leadership, innovation and impact.

Then came 18 July 2026.
What was once an idea became a room filled with young people, speakers, panellists, volunteers, partners and people who believed in the vision.
And standing before that room as the Founder & Team Lead of The Ben Orgenda Foundation was a moment I will always remember.

YLIS reminded me that leadership is not just about having a title. It is about taking responsibility, bringing people together, and having the courage to build something that creates opportunities for others.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making YLIS 2026 possible - our speakers, panellists, volunteers, partners, supporters and every young person who showed up.
This was more than an event. It was a beginning.
There is still so much to learn.
So much to build.
And so many young people to reach.

YLIS 2026 - Leading Beyond Titles.

There was a moment I couldn’t ignore what I was seeing around me.
Young people with ideas. With energy. With potential.
But still… no clear space where their voice could shape anything real.
And that question became the beginning of something for me:
What if we didn’t just wait for opportunities…
What if we built the systems that create them?
That’s part of what BOF RPL is here to start.
Not just a project. Not just a flyer.
But a space where students begin to show up, speak up, and build something together.
So if you’re a student and you’ve seen this but haven’t responded yet, this is your invitation.
Not pressure. Just a real chance to be part of something early.

Let’s build it right, from the foundation.

There was a time I realised something important - many students have potential, but lack exposure, guidance, and the right information to shape that potential into something meaningful.
That realization is one of the reasons behind the Student Exposure & Professional Development Initiative (SEPDI).

Recently, we successfully carried out the SEPDI High School Educational Outreach Pilot - engaging with students, sharing insights, and opening conversations around personal development, career paths, and transition readiness for tertiary level education.
One moment that stood out for me was the curiosity of the students, the questions, the eagerness to learn, and the willingness to see beyond their current environment. It was a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to shift a mindset.

This is just the beginning.
Our vision is to build a structured platform that consistently reaches students across schools, providing mentorship, exposure, and practical knowledge that prepares them not just for exams, but for life and contribution to society.
Grateful for the opportunity.
Grateful for the impact.
And even more focused on what lies ahead.

Exposure changes direction. Structure sustains it.

The SEPDI High School Educational Outreach Pilot was successfully held.

We are pleased to share the successful completion of the SEPDI High School Educational Outreach Pilot, an initiative designed to engage students, broaden their perspectives, and expose them to opportunities beyond the classroom.

The outreach created a meaningful platform for interaction with students, encouraging conversations around education, personal development, and future possibilities.

This pilot marks an important first step as we continue to explore ways of supporting young people through knowledge, guidance, and exposure.

We appreciate everyone who contributed their time, support, and effort to make this initiative possible.

More engagements ahead.

A few years ago, I met a secondary school student who had good grades, big dreams… but no clear direction.
He didn’t know the right JAMB subject combination, didn’t understand how admissions worked, and believed that failing once meant his future was over.
No one had ever sat him down to explain the system, only to tell him to “work hard.”

That conversation stayed with me.
Because intelligence is not the problem for many Nigerian students.

Guidance is. Exposure is. Support is.

This is why we are launching the SEPDI High School Outreach - 2026 Pilot Programme under The Ben Orgenda Foundation.
In February 2026, we will be visiting selected secondary schools in Jos, Plateau State, focusing on SS3 students who are at the most critical transition point of their academic journey.

Through this outreach, we will provide:
- Career and course guidance.
- WAEC, NECO & JAMB readiness support.
- Admission and tertiary institution awareness.
- Academic mindset and transition preparation.
- Academic quizzes and excellence recognition.
- Targeted JAMB registration support.
- Certificates of participation.

Our goal is simple:
👉 Help students transition into tertiary institutions with clarity, confidence, and direction, not confusion.

We have set a ₦790,000 donation target, and every contribution goes directly into learning materials, student support, logistics, facilitation, and proper documentation of impact.

This is our 2026 pilot programme, and we are intentionally starting small so we can build it right.

If you believe in education, youth development, and structured transition support, I invite you to support this initiative or help us amplify it by sharing.

Donations and partnership enquiries are welcome. Details are in the attached flyer.

Thank you for supporting this vision.
Thank you for standing with the next generation.

Don’t ever be afraid to start over.

There were moments when things didn’t move as planned, while setting up different ventures, ideas had to be reworked, timelines shifted, and foundations had to be laid again, properly.

I’ve learned that starting over is not failure. Sometimes, it’s alignment.

Over time, I stepped back to learn, build quietly, attend professional conferences, sit under mentors, and understand what it truly takes to build credible businesses and sustainable impact. 
One of the most meaningful outcomes of that season is The Ben Orgenda Foundation (BOF) - a platform focused on business structuring, entrepreneurship empowerment, and supporting people, community interventions to contribute meaningfully to our economy.

This journey has taught me:
• Growth requires structure
• Impact requires responsibility
• Vision requires patience

This is Me leaving a digital footprint.2026, a year of clarity, structure, and purposeful building.

Our Purpose-driven year... Beyond Basic-driven.
Grateful to God. Grateful for the journey.

If you believe in building sustainable impact and empowering people, 2026 is the year
