On Saturday, August 28, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer of Flame Academy and Consulting, Mr Orji Udemezue, will have discussions with some youths on Self-Liberation Amidst Economic Challenges.
Mr Udemezue has been scheduled to speak on this topic at the third edition of Periscope, a quarterly seminar/exhibition organised by Christ Apostolic Church Victory Land, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.
The programme was put together by the church for entrepreneurs, professionals, artisans, job seekers, students and young school leavers.
“Periscope is open to everyone, not only our church members. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures introduced to curb it affected a lot of businesses. While some businesses have overcome the challenges, others are still struggling.
“This edition, free for participants, is therefore meeting part of the spiritual and physical needs of our members and the public,” the Zonal Superintendent, Victory Calvary Zonal headquarters, Pastor Israel Ajanaku, stated.
He, however, assured that all COVID-19 safety protocols would be observed at the programme, adding that people would pick valuable self-sufficiency tips to survive the current economic downturn.
It was gathered that the choice of Mr Udemezue for the event was based on his vast experience. His company provides training and development, business consulting, human resource management and corporate strategy to several persons and organisations.
It was disclosed that apart from Mr Udemezue’s session, Periscope, which is expected to kick off by 10 am at the church premises, 20, Joel Ogunnaike, GRA, Ikeja, would also feature an exhibition of goods and services by congregants and the public.
Commenting on the choice of theme, Associate Pastor, Dr Joseph Minari, said, “We all can see what’s happening with our economy and people’s daily struggles to make ends meet. The challenges are much but surmountable.
“That informed our topic and facilitator, a tested manager of people and resources. The event is open to everyone, and we will observe all COVID-19 protocols,” the cleric said.
