Leadership
The academy evaluates the meaning and importance of
leadership through teachings. These teachings try to build a true understanding
of leadership. While many people erroneously think that leadership qualities
are meant only for people holding positions of authority in formal settings,
the notion is corrected. People are trained to know that each person needs
leadership qualities to be able to act reasonably in their own capacity, be it
at the level of a domestic servant.

Entrepreneurship
The academy has given people, especially the youths,
insights to owning and managing their own little businesses. It trains people
to build up their confidence level to the point of creating little enterprises
and sustaining them over time. The vision for this is to start long-term plans
that will ultimately build business owners than job-seekers who may not
necessarily find one.

People can’t own and manage businesses on mundane
ideas. They need to align with requirements of modern businesses and that is
one of the key issues that the academy takes handle with respect to capacity
building.

Ability to manage time valuably is key to success! It
is one of the watch words of the academy and it begins right from the training
classes. Students are put through life lessons and they fully understand the
gains and losses of using time positively or negatively.

“Teach even a child the importance of giving something
back to society and the effort of each person will make up the greatest pool for
a sustainable growth,” says Ngwakwe.

Her passion for managing the academy has further grown
following field experiences she gathers from advocating for the less-
privileged in society. She manages a Non-Governmental Organisation called the
Centre for Advancement of Development Rights (CEADER).

CEADER has demonstrated the benefits of giving back to
society. Over the years it has empowered
young women to be economically independent. Young women who had erstwhile been
on the streets and engaged in prostitution have been given capacity-building training
in tailoring and hairdressing.

CEADER also advocates for gender equality. It made a
case for women to be involved in the various Town Hall Meetings in the Ijora
area of Lagos, which helped women who were heads of households to be involved
in the compensation plans by the state government for areas where relocation
exercises were billed to take place.
