At the heart of this story stands Peters Idiongoabasi, a dear friend to the licensee, whose visionary idea ignited the spark of change. Peters' dream was simple yet profound—to empower the youth by exposing them to innovative ideas that could shape their futures. He believed that within the powerful conversations shared on a grand stage, lay the potential to build a nation filled with creativity, hope, and limitless possibilities. Driven by this vision, Peters and his friends embarked on a remarkable journey. We immersed ourselves in months of tireless exploration, seeking context and exchanging ideas, in order to bring our dream to life. Our dedication is fueled by a burning desire to instigate change and inspire a nation yearning for progress. A pivotal moment arrived when Oluwademilade, captivated by the spirit of this endeavor, made a decision that would alter the course of our story. Fueled by unwavering determination, Oluwademilade took the courageous step of applying for a TEDx license—a symbol of official recognition and endorsement. Our efforts were rewarded, for the license was granted, affirming our commitment to bring TEDx University of Port Harcourt into existence.
