In a significant boost for education and ethical leadership, the ACA Foundation has awarded N14 million in prizes to over 120 secondary school students in Lagos State. This initiative marked the closing ceremony of the 2026 Ethical Living Project, aimed at promoting ethical values among youth. Such projects are vital in nurturing future leaders who are not only academically accomplished but also socially responsible.
The Ethical Living Project has gained momentum since its inception, attracting widespread participation from schools across Lagos. The awards recognize students' commitment to ethical behavior and community service, reinforcing the importance of integrity in today's society. "We believe that instilling ethical principles in our youth is essential for sustainable development," stated Esther Oluku, Executive Director of ACA Foundation.
As Nigeria faces various socio-economic challenges, initiatives like these are crucial in shaping a generation that values ethics and community service. Looking ahead, the ACA Foundation's commitment to fostering ethical leadership may serve as a model for similar programs across Africa, potentially transforming societal values and creating a more conscientious youth.
