OVERVIEW

LOC is a program organized by CTF and ACE&E in secondary schools across Nigeria. LOC is targeted at SS3

students who are about to graduate from school. The objective of LOC is to give this class of students

emotional, psychological, spiritual and intellectual readiness for university life. To achieve this, LOC

educates outgoing secondary school students in five key areas namely:

1. Attaining Academic Excellence in Higher Institution

2. Financial Intelligence for College Students

3. Building Social Skills for Higher Institution

4. Patriotism and Nationalization

5. The Importance of Spirituality in Higher Institution

These are taught using a combination of co-curricular and extra-curricular techniques to maximally impart

the students.

FACL is located in Canaanland, Ota; it is one of 21 secondary schools in Nigeria owned by the Living Faith

Church Worldwide. FACL was established on the 25th of October 1999 as the premier Faith Academy

School and currently has a population of 1700 students. The 2018 FACL-LOC was the maiden edition of

LOC and saw eager participation from the 226 graduating students (110 females) at FACL.

CTF is a non-governmental organization, headquartered in Egbeda, Lagos Nigeria with a core mission

gotten from 1Timothy 4:12. Paul writes to Timothy; "Do not let anyone look down on you because you

are young, but be an example among believers, in word, in conversation (demeanor/attitude/conduct), in

charity (love), in spirit, in faith and in purity (honesty/integrity)". CTF's mission statement is to equip the

present generation of teenagers with the resources, skillset and leadership capacity required to make

them experts in their selected fields of endeavors. ACE&E’s vision statement is to adopt 3.000 schools,

30.000 teachers and 300.000 students using a mix of curricular and non-curricular heuristics.

The 2018 FACL-LOC was organized in partnership with Faith Academy Chaplaincy and Faith Academy

Alumni Association from the 15th to the 20th of May. It ran for five (5) days using the key areas mentioned

and ended with a short service on the 6th day. The program combined facilitations, break-out sessions, a

chess competition and specialized sessions. Specialized sessions included dance & drama presentations,

prayer sessions, bible study, renewable energy and sustainability webinar, career conference and a variety

night. LOC facilitators were sourced from FACL alumni body and CU alumni body. The daily program is

shown in table 1.

To ensure involvement of all the graduating students, 220 of them were divided into groups of 10; the 6

remaining students worked with the organizers to coordinate the students. The chairperson of CTF,

Oluwatosin Noiki, having received approval from FACL for LOC (See Appendix 1) began preparation with

the students two weeks to the event. This helped to create awareness and excitement within the student

body and greatly raised anticipation for LOC.

The program was life-changing with testimonies and positive feedback from students, teachers and

management staff. God be praised for a successful event.

DAILY RUN-DOWN

Sessions started each day at 8:30am with a short devotion. Each day comprised of classes, break-out

sessions and specialized sessions. Class sessions were structured to be interactive and all-inclusive. The

break-out sessions involved group activities done in the groups of 10 (Appendix 2). Facilitators used

multimedia and other tools to keep the sessions engaging. The summary of daily events is presented here.

Day 1 (May 15):

The opening session of LOC was themed “The Academic Teenager” and was anchored by Leye Sowunmi –

Lesho (CUA Chemical Engineering). The objective of this session was to inspire the students to become

better than the best that they can be. The session involved presentations, quizzes, video sessions, debate,

break-out session exercises (career discussion and GPA exercise) and an interesting display of intellectual

prowess. The students also received a short presentation from Faith Okome (FACLA) who is currently

studying International Relations at the University of Benin. The career discussion break-out sessions were

anchored by Barnabas Amu (CUPG Economics), Oghogho Edosomwan (CUPG Banking and Finance) and

Joshua Obayan (CUA Engineering, CUPG Business Administration).

Two companies running study-abroad programs: Vee & Bee and Harvest Field Educational Services were

on ground to engage with students and increase their knowledge on international opportunities that avail

and steps to take in securing admission abroad. During the night session, the students watched several

motivational, music and biographical videos.

Day 2 (May 16):

Day 2 sailed on the momentum of day 1. It was tagged “Financial Intelligence for College Students.” The

facilitators Isaiah Ligar (FACLA, CU) and Joys Alabi (FACLA, CU Economics) took the students through a

journey of saving and capitalism and the importance of prudence, financial management and financial

intelligence. The facilitators also exposed the students to the time value of money and the concept of

investment and having money work for you. In addition, the facilitators discussed money from a scriptural

perspective, and the place of spirituality in their finances.

Afterwards, the students participated in a quiz and had practical illustrations on money. There was also a

short presentation by Chisom Esonu (FACLA, CU) who intimated the students on life after secondary

school. The students also watched a 30-minute video by T.D. Jakes on entrepreneurship and leadership

and then the students had to complete a classwork on it. Later that night, the students watched the movie

“Hacksaw Ridge.”

Day 3 (May 17):

The third day centered on building social skills for higher institution. The facilitators Esther Adeoro (FACLA,

CU Mass Communication) and Ebuka Ike-mgbechi (FACLA, CU Engineering) discussed topics including:

communication, networking, use of social media, peer influence, self-esteem, dating and relationships.

The students showed eagerness to discuss topics relating to sex, virginity, dating and opposite sex

5

relationship. Ebuka Ike-mgbechi is currently into comedy and was able to successfully use his skill as a

comedian to captivate the students through his entire session. Esther Adeoro used her story and personal

experience to encourage the students on the importance of purity and building healthy and lasting

relationships. These sessions cut into the lunch time of the students and they still did not want the

facilitators to end.

Deji-Folutile Winner (FACLA, CUA, CUPG Architecture) who was valedictorian in his graduating year in CU

and the first in Architecture program to achieve this feat spoke to the students on excellence and staying

strong through challenges. The day was crowned with the movie “Woodlawn” after their dinner.

Day 4 (May 18):

Patriotism was taught on the fourth day. Joy James (FACLA, CU Electrical Engineering) examined different

aspects of patriotism with the students. They discussed in details, the definition of patriotism and the role

of Nigerians as both patriotic leaders and followers. There were also real life examples of present-day

challenges in Nigeria bordering on religion, tribalism and other divides inhibiting the nations progress. At

the end, the students came to an understanding of the importance of their patriotism and a realization of

their role in making Nigeria a better place. Oluwole Oluwafolahanmi (FACLA, CU Architecture) addressed

the students and gave them his perspective and experiences on transitioning to university. The Assistant

Chaplain of FACL, Mr Voke Vowa gave the students a charge and narrated his own experience going

through the university.

The afternoon session featured a career conference. The facilitators of this session were: Phoebe Umane

(CUA, CUPG Microbiology), Temitope Mercy John (CUA, CUPG Electrical Engineering), Motunrayo

Eniayekan (Kogi State University Law) and Fashion Designer Sonia Jerry-Okondu (FACLA, CUA Architecture)

who is known for her skill in building dresses, constructing handbags and birthing shoes.

After the day’s dinner, the students had a variety night which included dance, drama, bible study, music

presentation and a video session.

Day 5 (May 19):

The day started with a video of Peter Obi’s (Former Governor of Anambra State) speech at the Nigerian-

American Business Forum which held in the U.S. State of Florida in January 2018. Afterwards, the students

had a fun-filled morning with Iruka Omenye (FACLA, CUA Microbiology) – Program Officer at ALDC – who

took them on patriotism. The session was mostly interactive and the students expressed themselves on

why they are angry with Nigeria. Iruka channeled the anger of the students into passion to make a positive

difference in Nigeria. David Arinze (FACLA, CU) spoke with the students on spirituality and its importance

in their everyday life.

At 3pm, 57 FACL students joined a webinar on renewable energy and sustainability organized by Sonma

Okoro, a Texas-based Engineer and Manager at ISNAD-Africa. The webinar had 3 other facilitators from

different parts of the world and students from South Africa. The webinar lasted for about 90 minutes and

left the students with an understanding of renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency, career

opportunities in renewable energy and IRENA.

6

At 5:30pm, interested students had a session with Yimika Sowunmi (CUA, CUPG Demography and Social

Statistics) who discussed with the students on exploring income generation through business while

maintaining good academic standing. This session lasted for about 40 minutes.

Day 6 (May 20):

On Sunday, May 20, the students had a closing session which started at 8:30pm. This session was anchored

by the organizer Oluwatosin Noiki and FACL Chaplain Dcns. Idam. The students were given a final charge

and had prayer sessions. The students filled a feed-back form afterwards and LOC came to an end at about

9:45pm.

Chess Competition:

The chess competition ran through the LOC period. 28 SS3 students participated in the competition.

Aweto Egbaoghene David emerged as winner of the chess competition and was presented with a gift at

the school’s assembly session (See Appendix 3 for details).

TESTIMONIES

LOC was a life changing experience for the students and the program ended with a plethora of

testimonies. Some testimonies are presented below (See Appendix 4 for catalogue of testimonies).

+ The students came to me after last night’s session to tell me that they were offended because I didn’t

allow them go home after WAEC, but said that they had now forgiven me because of the LOC. If this LOC

can work here, then it can work anywhere. I am ready to recommend this program to all Faith Academy

Schools nationwide – Dcn. Patrick Nkwoh, Principal FACL

+ A student came to my office crying that she doesn’t want the organizers of LOC to leave. We appreciate

the sacrifice that you have made and pray that God will continue to bless you. We hope that this LOC would

not be the last – Dcns. Abasi, Vice Principal Administration FACL

+ When I heard that Mr. Tosin had brought up the idea of LOC, I was angry because I desperately wanted

to go home. Man, I change my mind. LOC was extremely impactful and enhancing in every aspect. The

academic session by Lesho taught me that I am smart and I can achieve anything I desire to. I also learnt

a lot about how to manage my finances and I also learnt a lot about how to socially survive in a university.

On a normal basis, I have a serious case of LSE [low self-esteem] but trust me, Ebuka trashed it out of my

system. Esther Adeoro taught me all I need to know about relationships. Mrs. Iruka taught me that I am

Nigeria and that I have the power to make Nigeria a better place. Sonia taught me to follow my dreams

and work towards it. LOC is the best thing that happened to me in SS3 and I thank God, chaplaincy,

management, Tosin, Lesho and every other person for that. God bless you all the way. You’ve blessed me.

Thank you – Student in group 20

+ I really learnt a lot from LOC, I am kind of speechless, but all the sessions were very interesting and now

I am looking at University from an entirely different perspective. My life has changed for the better. I really

thank Mr Tosin and Mr Lesho. God bless you guys – Student in group 1

+ I give glory to God for the success of the LOC program because it affected me positively in the aspect of

learning and destroying the spirit of fear. It taught me how not to be afraid of any circumstance that comes

my way in life. It was really impactful and I loved it with all the impactful facilitators. It also taught me

how to manage my resources, create good relationships with people and be highly connected to God, I

really loved the program – Student in group 9

+ Praise God. I am really happy I was part of LOC. I really appreciate God, Mr. Noiki and other persons who

made this program a huge success. During one of the sessions which was on Saturday, I got an inspiration

from God to start a particular business in the university. Indeed, the prayer which Mr. Noiki said came to

pass that my spiritual ears will be opened. Right now, writing this I am crying and weeping for joy and once

again, I am very happy. Thank you Jesus – Alao Oluwanifemi

+ I feel this is the most amazing thing I have seen in my life. It really got me using my brains and thinking

and it brought redirection to my life – Student in group 18

+ Wow!! LOC was wonderful. It changed my life. I feel like I am a good and ready campus student. It made

me to think. I used to feel like a fool but LOC changed my mind. I feel ready to change the world. Thank

you all – Student in group 11

FEEDBACK

The news of LOC spread fast. On the third day of LOC, the Principal of CUSS invited the organizers of LOC

to discuss a replication of LOC at CUSS following feedback emanating from FACL students. Feedback was

thereafter taken from FACL students for reporting. 208 feedback forms (92 percent of set) were turned in

for analysis. Feedback percentages were estimated based on number of entries. See Appendix 5 for

sample of feedback form.

99 percent of students indicated that LOC was fun, interactive and impactful. Figure 1 shows the ratings

for each day of LOC. Day 3 (See Table 2) was rated excellent by 97 percent of the students. On average,

the 5 days of LOC were rated excellent by nearly 70 percent of students.

Table 2: Theme for Each LOC Day

THEME

Day 1 Attaining Academic Excellence in Higher Institution Day 2 Financial Intelligence for College Students Day 3 Building Social Skills for Higher Institution Day 4 Patriotism and Nationalization Day 5 The Importance of Spirituality in Higher Institution

The students ranked the seven different facilitators shown in Figure 2C. 99 percent of students rated one

of the facilitators excellent; above all, some of the sessions and facilitators were most enjoyed (See Figure

2A). The presentations by FACLA were also rated with excellent ranking going as high as 90 percent (See

Figure 2D).

97 percent of students indicated that they would recommend LOC to others students and schools. The

others jokingly indicated on their forms that they would not recommend LOC to other students because

they want LOC to happen only in their school. Other metrics are presented in Appendix 5.

CONCLUSION

The 2018 FACL LOC started 8:30am on May 15 and ended at 9:45pm on May 20, 2018. The program was

impactful and filled with inspiring testimonies and positive feedback. Big thanks to you and may God

continue to strengthen you. We thank all the SS3 students for active participation, and more especially,

the members of group seven who emerged with the highest score and were presented with gifts.

We acknowledge and thank the Principal of FACL, Dcn. Patrick Nkwoh; the Vice Principal Administration,

Dcns. Abasi; the Vice Principal Academics, Mr. Ogunbunmi Isaac; the Chaplain of FACL, Dcns Idam, and

the Assistant Chaplain, Mr. Voke Vowa: who made entry into FACL hitch free and provided everything that

was needed for successful implementation of LOC. The organizers thank the teachers at FACL who came

around to assist with managing the students before and during the program.

We greatly appreciate all contributors to the program who were sourced from FACLA, CUA and from

outside Canaanland. The second year master’s students from CU came to interact with students of FACL

despite being in the middle of their thesis submission and presentation. Final year students made time

out from their TTG program to come and facilitate and share their experiences with the students. It goes

without saying that everyone made significant sacrifice to be present at LOC and we are thankful for their

time and effort.

Also, we acknowledge the Chairperson of CTF, Oluwatosin Noiki who took the step to initiate LOC and was

used by God to bring the program into actualization.

All Glory to God, Mover of Men and Mountains.

+ It had serious impact on my life. I really learnt how to budget and save money

+ Praise God, I want to thank God for the LOC for really helping my spiritual life and sharpening me for my

higher levels

+ Praise God!! First of all, I loved every session of LOC. Esther Adeoro really made me understand

everything about relationships so did Ebuka. Deji gave me inspiration on how to handle my academic life

in the university. Iruka made me understand that I am Nigeria and Nigeria is me. Joys Alabi made me plan

my budget and also gave me ideas on how to make money in the university. Lesho has seriously been a

blessing, in his quotes, talks, chess everything. To be sincere, he is one in a million. Tosin Noiki made me

understand the power of separation and made me understand that I can do what I set my mind to do. But

most of all LOC has been a blessing, LOC has made me picture my self-featuring in my future. Made me

plan ahead of time, increased me mentally, spiritually, financially and academically. I can proudly say I am

a university student. Mr Noiki, Lesho, Deji Winner, Joys Alabi, Iruka Omenye, Esther Adeoro, Ebuka Ike-

mgbechi you are the best thank you and God bless you richly – Adesoji Divine

Group 9

+ I was greatly imparted by LOC ’18. It has instilled great knowledge and moral behavior

+ During the LOC program, I was inspired to think more, get ready for the university life and [made to

know that] everything we learnt here in FACL really counted. I learnt prayer very well and my prayer life

has improved since then especially during the afternoon sessions.

+ I give glory to God for the success of the LOC program because it affected me positively in the aspect of

learning and destroying the spirit of fear. It taught me how not to be afraid of any circumstance that comes

my way in life. It was really impactful and I loved it with all the impactful facilitators. It also taught me how

to manage my resource, create good relationships with people and be highly connected to God., I really

loved the program.

Group 10

+ Life on Campus was WOW!!! I never thought there would be something this interesting, impactful and

heavenly as this in the world. Well I bless God because I learnt a lot. I learnt how I can utilize my time,

make my cash at an early stage and still have time for social activities. I believe that when I get to the

university, I will make my world know that there is someone of great quality and impact. Thank God.

+ LOC was quite impactful to me. Our wonderful Lesho equipped me with a great deal of knowledge and

information. Also I feel ready for the university. Thanks to the facilitators and teachers, I have greater

understanding of the university and I’m sure I’m prepared. I was also blessed by the prayer sessions, the

chess games and it was nice being chaplain [for my group]. LOC has been a blessing, to God be all the glory

– Egwari Michael

Group 11

me to think. I used to feel like a fool but LOC changed my mind. I feel ready to change the world. Thank

you all

+ Praise God. I am really happy I was part of LOC. I really appreciate God, Mr. Noiki and other persons who

made this program a huge success. During one of the sessions which was on Saturday, I got an inspiration

from God to start a particular business in the university. Indeed, the prayer which Mr. Noiki said came to

pass that my spiritual ears will be opened. Right now, writing this I am crying and weeping for joy and

once again, I am very happy. Thank you Jesus. Alao Oluwanifemi

all the facilitators especially Lesho and Mr. Noiki. I just want to say that if not for this event, I would have

made many terrible decisions and mistakes while going to university. I am overwhelmingly blessed from

this experience. Thank you Mr. Noiki. I will never forget what you have done for me and I will tell my

brother (the one that you talked about that had an accident in Bauchi) what you have done for me. Thank

you so much. Bamgboye Tobani

+ I want to thank God for LOC because through the business talk we had on Saturday, I got a great idea

for university.

+ LOC has really had great impact on my life these past few days and my knowledge vocabulary and

everything has been increased, and also my spiritual life. God bless you in Jesus name.

little [things] matter in big ways. My insight and foresight for my future has increased.

Group 15

+ LOC has been of great impact to me. It has helped me to think outside the box and to move out of my

comfort zone. I learnt so much that I have determined that when I get home I must learn something new

every day. I have also discovered myself and what I want to do when I grow up. I have discovered new

paths and have seen how things work for success. Thank you LOC.

+ It imparted me spiritually, academically, financially, physically, psychologically and it has changed my

life. Thank you very much that helped me.

+ Life on Campus has really impacted me with creative skills on how to deal with life’s issues and how to

handle life in higher institution.

Group 17

make right decisions. It also improved me all round and took away the anxiety of university and made me

realize that with God on our side, university will be the best ever.

Group 18

+ I planned to leave informed but I got transformed

+ I feel this is the most amazing thing I have seen in my life. It really got me using my brains and thinking

and it brought redirection to my life.

also taught me to avoid procrastination at all cost.

Group 19

+ LOC has made me understand different aspects of life and how to handle them. God bless you – ILYSM

teenager by Gods grace.

will run with all through my life. I will never forget LOC and I will miss you guys. Thank you very much.

+ Praise God. I want to give thanks to God, the chaplain Mr Noiki, Lesho and the coordinators for their

suggestions that really made the program successful. I want to give God thanks because God really helped

the facilitators deliver to my hands things that really got me inspired and will help me in the nearest future.

Group 20

+ When I heard that Mr. Tosin had brought up the idea of LOC, I was angry because I desperately wanted

to go home. Man, I change my mind. LOC was extremely impactful and enhancing in every aspect. The

academic session by Mr. Lesho taught me that I am smart and I can achieve anything I desire to. I also

learnt a lot about how to manage my finances and I also learnt a lot about how to socially survive in a

university. On a normal basis, I have a serious case of LSE [low self-esteem] but trust me, Ebuka trashed it

out of my system. Esther Adeoro taught me all I need to know about relationships. Mrs Iruka taught me

that I am Nigeria and that I have the power to make Nigeria a better place. Sonia taught me to follow my

dreams and work towards it. LOC is the best thing that happened to me in SS3 and I thank God, chaplaincy,

21

management, Tosin, Lesho and every other person for that. God bless you all the way. You’ve blessed me.

Thank you

Group 21

+ LOC taught me a lot. During the afternoon session I got healed. I always enjoyed being in the presence

of God. I learnt a lot spiritually, academically etc.

+ At the beginning of LOC, I was unable to read a spiritual book with focus, but at the end of a session,

upon getting to the hostel, I read a spiritual book by Mama [Mrs. Faith Oyedepo] and I found that I finished

the book before 10am the next morning – Ajibade Victor

Comment on specific LOC session

Career discussion with Sonia was really impactful

The fashion session was very impactful and law too

The academic teenager session was really life changing time for me. It was simply mind blowing

The best to me was the financial intelligence for a college student

I think LOC could bring people to talk about computer related courses and careers

Day 1 was a very wonderful session. It reminded me of the infinity of brain use

The financial session really helped me and improved my financial mentality, so did the building social

and professional skills.

Building social and professional skills was impactful

I really loved the building social and professional session by Ike-mgbechi. I learnt alot

Everyone was nice

Ebuka session was very interactive. No one slept during his session

Financial intelligence for a college student was really fun and inspiring.

Building social and professional skills was perfect

Academic and social were great!

Academics really inspired me

Academic and social and professional skills session were much more impactful

The career discussion was very impactful and it should be continued and all courses or careers should

have their own specialist

Please always use Mr. Lesho for the academic session because he really inspired people and I feel Deji

Folutile should come for a session next time

LOC should be a regular program because it lets students know their worth in life and what they have

to do in their various institutions and in various areas

I loved the academic and social teenager aspects of LOC

25

The academic session was the most challenging and the best. It made me know that I don’t know

everything

The variety night needs to have more time i.e. more time for varieties

I had a good experience, LOC rocks

I really loved the social aspect. It really improved me and motivated me that even if I am not really social,

I can be and the benefits of being social is enormous

The session on financial intelligence made me realize success is more than being rich

Social session was awesome, academic session was absolutely amazing

The business part really made sense. Now I know how to budget my things well

Which part of LOC did you not like?

I loved all the parts

I didn’t like that the career discussions were not given enough time

When Lesho didn’t ask my group question

At first, I didn’t fancy the patriotism part, until Mrs Iruka Omenye treated it

None, I liked all

Quiz

The fact that there was no sport

The spirit-filled teenager

Breakout

Group separation

I love every bit of LOC, it was impactful to the core

Patriotism and nationalism

When they only attended to people at the front but did not attend to people at the back

The financial session and the fact that not all groups were given equal opportunity

The late arrival of facilitators

The fact that people only participated for points

None

Variety

Fast forwarding of the movie

The part where Lesho goes round and asks questions like not every group had equal opportunities

None

No part

Group division

The group distribution and the fact that the choir and the drama did not finish all the songs and the

Samson story

No area

The fact that science professionals were not called for the career discussion e.g. doctors and nurses

Compression of events into one variety night

26

State areas of LOC you feel need improvement

Please let them start sharing chops

The question part

No areas, I thank God

The financial teenager

The score giving for groups

The spirit-filled teenager

Group arrangement

Punctuality of facilitators

The invited person should make the atmosphere lively like chipping in some fun parts for special prize

The group questioning should improve

Patriotism and nationalization

The microphones should be able to go round

Different careers should be represented to teach people

The planning could be better

The competitions and quizzes should be more arranged

The question and answer session, the time was not equally allotted each group

Proper planning should be done before LOC so we will not run out of time on any session

Stop bringing only CU students. Other universities are higher than CU. Lag and UI are also there
