OtelaJa Ayanfeoluwa, a student of CMS Grammar School, has been crowned the overall winner of the African Capital Alliance Foundation’s ‘Ethical Living’ Competition. The grand finale, held recently in Lagos, saw Oseni Akorede of Akande Dahunsi Memorial High School and Ogunlowo Ayomide of Boys’ Senior Academy emerge as first and second runners-up, respectively.
The competition, which drew 353 participants from 10 selected schools approved by the Lagos State Ministry of Education, challenged students to write essays on ‘My Role as a Youth and the Strategies I Will Deploy in Creating a More Ethical, Just, and Equitable Society’. The winners received cash awards and ICT devices from the organizers.
Dr. Okey Enelamah, Chairman of the African Capital Alliance Foundation, emphasized the importance of instilling ethical values in society, especially in today’s challenging world. “Embracing ethical living as a mantra can transform our world. We must foster an environment that promotes ethical standards,” he said. He encouraged the students to cultivate a love for reading and strive for excellence in all their endeavors.
The African Capital Alliance Foundation’s initiative aims to inspire young minds to become responsible and ethical leaders, shaping a better future for society.
