Lifeseries with Ibukun Awosika
The Life Series with Ibukun Awosika was established out of a desire to influence change by empowering young men and women to live whole, purposeful and balanced lives that enhance the building of a better society. The Life Series with Ibukun Awosika is actively trying to influence the mindset of young people and the development of their personal value systems.

This will in turn impact the nation and world at large.
Each Life Series event is aimed at facilitating authentic conversations around personal growth and professional/business growth. Participants can listen and ask questions in a no-holds-barred way within a safe and discreet atmosphere.
