Community Engagement

Member Spotlight

We honor Tsolaye, whose remarkable dedication to education led our successful 'Back to School Drive'. Tsolaye's efforts ensured that dozens of children in Warri community were equipped with the necessary school supplies and resources to start their academic year on the right foot. This initiative reflects the heart of our Itsekiri values — supporting each other in educational pursuits and community well-being.
