The summit created an opportunity for students to receive practical knowledge about education, career choices, discipline, leadership, and personal development. Participants were encouraged to remain focused on their dreams and avoid negative influences that could affect their future.

Drawing from his journey as a businessman respected within and beyond the community, he advised the students on the importance of hard work, determination, consistency, and self-belief.
The program also received support from the Honourable Assemblyman for the Ogbojo Electoral Area, Elvis Kwabena Jnr, who took time to speak to the students about leadership, responsibility, and making wise life choices at a young age. His presence added inspiration and encouragement to the summit.
In addition to the mentorship and educational sessions, the summit also introduced a practical support initiative for students awaiting their BECE results. Chief Iddi and his team secured free apprenticeship and internship opportunities for some of the students to help them acquire vocational and life skills while preparing for the next phase of their education and future careers.
The initiative reflects Chief Iddi’s belief that education should go beyond academics and include practical skill development, discipline, and mentorship that can help young people become responsible and productive members of society.
