A non-governmental organization dedicated to community and human development, placing special emphasis on the growth and empowerment of the male child, Great Achievers Initiative for Youth and Community Development (GAIYD) has held a quiz competition to mark the 2025 International Day of the Boy Child in Abuja. 

The event had as the theme “Boy’s Health and Wellbeing” and the essay topic, “Where are the Mentors? The Missing Role Models for Boy’s Growth and Development.

Speaking earlier, the Founder of GAIYD, Dr. Hillary Akpua, noted the need for a dedicated focus on the boy child and expressed gratitude for the growing advocacy for boys.
“If you have not been paying attention to your boys, please start doing so. Send them for training where they can develop more because the girls you are training today might meet the boy you left untrained tomorrow. I’m sure you won’t want that girl you are busy training today to marry such an untrained boy.

“In order word, for the efforts we put into raising our female children not to be counterproductive eventually, we really need to do better in raising these young men God has blessed us with,” Akpua said.

The Chairman, Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, who was represented by the Commission’s head of Enlightenment and Reorientation, Aisha Muhammad, emphasized the urgent need for integrity and guidance among youth, decrying the detrimental effects of cybercrime on the mental health of young boys in the society.
 
“Girls are just there for the enjoyment, either the boyfriends or the wives, and that’s it. They are just there as a supporters club, so the boys are the ones doing this,” he stated.

Olukoyede explained that the EFCC has established integrity clubs in primary and secondary schools to instill ethical values.
“We have zero tolerance clubs in the tertiary institutions, trying to catch them young, to instill the spirit of integrity and talk to them about what they should know, what they shouldn’t do,” he added.

Olukoyede therefore called for collective responsibility from parents, educators, and mentors to guide young people towards positive alternatives and foster digital literacy.

Highlight of the event was the official launch of One Boy One Skill Project by the wife of Ooni of Ife, Her Regal Majesty, Olori Temitope Enitan Ogunwusi. The project is aimed at engaging young male adults in different vacations to empower for the future ahead.

Also, there was presentation of prizes to winners of the essay competition.

While the first position received a scholarship worth 150,000 Naira, the second position was awarded 100,000 Naira, and the third position received 50,000 Naira.

Abuja, Nigeria – A year after undergoing a life-saving surgery abroad, Moses Amiebenomo—widely known as Celebrity Carpenter—is back on the scene, stronger and more determined than ever. The renowned craftsman and CEO of Sagesse De Dieu Ltd marked his return with a bold announcement: a brand-new luxury furniture showroom will open in Abuja this July.

His reappearance at several project sites across the city was met with overwhelming joy and celebration from workers and clients alike. Known for his innovation, humility, and dedication to quality, Amiebenomo wasted no time rallying his team, commending them for their loyalty and excellence during his medical hiatus.

“I am truly proud of this team. Their dedication kept the vision alive while I recovered,” he said. “Now, we’re back—and we’re taking it to another level.”

While the exact nature of the surgery remains undisclosed, Amiebenomo expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for a successful operation and healing. “This was a near-death experience. I came back to life with a renewed purpose—to serve, to build, and to empower,” he added.

Big Plans Ahead: New Showroom, New Designs, Same Excellence

Amiebenomo revealed that preparations are in full swing for the launch of his company’s flagship showroom in Abuja, set to unveil breathtaking new furniture designs and project innovations. The July launch is expected to draw industry stakeholders, celebrities, and fans from across Nigeria.

More than just a carpenter, Amiebenomo has become a symbol of creative excellence and grassroots empowerment. From bespoke interiors to architectural-grade woodwork, his creations continue to attract admiration for their global-standard quality at affordable rates.

A Legacy of Impact

Beyond business, Celebrity Carpenter is celebrated for his unwavering commitment to youth development. His Carpentry Academy, launched in the Dei-Dei area of the FCT, has trained and empowered dozens of young Nigerians—many of them from underprivileged backgrounds. Mothers across the community hailed the initiative for transforming their children’s futures through skill acquisition.

In addition to offering full scholarships at the academy, Amiebenomo has led several humanitarian interventions, including food and material support for struggling families amidst economic hardship.

In recognition of his extraordinary service to youth empowerment, he was turbaned last year with the traditional title of Garkuwan Matasa (Protector of the Youth) of Fillin-Dabo, Dei-Dei.

As he returns to the helm of his brand, Amiebenomo revealed he plans to step down as CEO soon, allowing new leadership to emerge while he focuses on expanding training programs and launching new innovations in furniture design.

A former member of the Nigerian Senate, Sen. Dino Melaye has been called to bar, making him a duly certified advocate of the Nigerian Supreme Court. 

He was among the 5,734 presented for call to bar in Abuja on Wednesday, a figure said to be the highest in the history of law school. 

Melaye, who graduated from the elite Baze University Abuja first represented the people of Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu federal constituency of Kogi State in the House of Representatives before his election to represent Kogi West in the Senate.

Before his stint in the political space, he was an anti-corruption activist who was vocal on alleged corruption involving the leadership of House of Representatives at a time. 

His induction into the legal profession is seen as an added advantage in his activism and political career. 

In 2023, he contested for the governorship of Kogi State but lost to APC candidate, Usman Ododo.

During the call to bar ceremony on Wednesday, former Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola charged the newly inducted lawyers to uphold the highest standards of integrity, warning that legal practice is a privilege that can be lost through misconduct.

He told the new wigs that the legal profession is sacred, and demands discipline, honour, and selfless service.

The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) have agreed to collaborate as regulators to stop quacks from bidding for government contracts, aiming to deepen professionalism as a key component of procurement. 

Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja, the Vice President of NIPR, Prof. Emmanuel Dandaura, who led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the BPP said that the activities of quacks and uncertified firms violate the provisions of the Act that established the Institute and constitute threat to the nation's economy. 

He stressed that the law establishing NIPR makes it a criminal offence for any individual or organisation who is not certified by the Institute to bid for or handle public relations briefs, urging the BPP to make NIPR certification a mandatory requirement for PR and communication-related jobs. 

"We have a number of quacks operating in the communication domain. We see how government agencies advertise communication jobs and such jobs end up in the hands of uncertified firms, which has caused a lot of damage to the system", he noted. 

In his remarks, the Director General of BPP, Dr. Adebowale Adedokun said that NIPR is a credible organisation and right partner that BPP will leverage to project the activities of the Bureau to the key stakeholders. 

Dr. Adedokun informed that contrary to popular belief that procurement is transactional, it supports good governance, stressing BPP's readiness to work closely with the NIPR to deliver greater value to the nation's procurement space. 

He pointed out that under his leadership, procurement will be professionalised and committed to effective collaboration with the NIPR to fight quackery in both professions.
