Leo Stan Ekeh Champions Character Reforms, Empowers Community Leaders

Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh, the Chairman of Zinox Group, has long been recognized as one of Nigeria's most influential corporate citizens, using his resources to support initiatives that promote ethical leadership, education and community development. In a recent effort to bolster character development and values-based leadership in South-east Nigeria, the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation joined forces with the Nkata Ndi Iyom Igbo Foundation to host a four-day Train-the-Trainers seminar.

This initiative was designed to empower women, teachers, mothers, and community leaders from the five South-east states and participants from Edo and Delta States with the skills needed to advocate for moral reorientation and positive social change within their communities.

The seminar, themed "Rebuilding Character, Strengthening Values, Empowering Minds, Enabling the Future," offered practical training in behavioral change, emotional intelligence, etiquette, mentoring, leadership, and effective communication. These sessions were led by respected experts in education and human development. Edo State University's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. U.U.

Chukwumaeze, addressed the attendees, emphasizing the collective responsibility to nurture a generation rooted in integrity, discipline, respect, and communal values, stating that national development begins with sound character.

Prof. Gloria Ernest-Samuel, the Director of the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation, expressed her confidence that the participants would return home as certified trainers, ready to inspire positive change in their families, schools, faith-based organizations, and youth groups. This collaboration between the Leo Stan Ekeh Foundation, the Nkata Ndi Iyom Igbo Foundation, and Imo State University underscores Ekeh's belief that rebuilding society begins with rebuilding character, one community at a time.
