Junior Chamber International (JCI) Ibadan has concluded the 10th edition of the Muyiwa Bamgbose Academy (MBA), its flagship leadership bootcamp for secondary school prefects across Ibadan. Held at Queens School Ibadan from August 11–15, the Academy featured training on leadership, emotional intelligence, civic responsibility, business development, financial literacy, and vocational skills.

President of JCI Ibadan, JCIN Ambassador Olajumoke Adelabu, said over 2,000 scholars have benefitted from the Academy since 2016. “With the support of our partners, including the Educational Advancement Centre (EAC) which provides A-Level scholarships for outstanding participants, and the generosity of Nigerians who sponsored scholars and donated resources, we are raising a generation of prepared leaders,” she noted.
