As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering growth in Nigeria’s aviation industry and making a lasting social impact, Wakanow has reaffirmed its dedication through its Wakacares Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by partnering with Mama J Aviation Consult as a sponsor of the Aviation Career Seminar, a key event aimed at empowering the next generation of aviation professionals.
During a visit by Joy Ogbebo, Chief Executive Officer of Mama J Aviation Consult to Wakanow’s headquarters in Lagos, where she was warmly received by Adenike Macaulay, Chief Executive Officer of Wakanow Nigeria, Wakanow fulfilled its sponsorship commitment to the Aviation Career Seminar.
The Aviation Career Seminar, held on October 4, 2024, at the NCCA Annex, Lagos, is in its 8th year and has remained a vital platform for career advocacy in Nigeria’s aviation industry.
While speaking on the partnership and the company’s priority for societal growth through industry-focused CSR initiatives, Macaulay said: “At Wakanow, our commitment to empowering future leaders in the aviation sector goes beyond business. Through Wakacares, we focus on creating social impact by supporting initiatives like the Aviation Career Seminar that equip young Nigerians with the skills and knowledge needed for successful careers in aviation. We believe this will not only benefit the industry but also contribute significantly to the development of society.”
The Aviation Career Seminar aims to introduce and mentor aspiring aviation professionals, providing a platform where they can connect with industry experts and explore career opportunities. The seminar theme for this year, “Proactive Approach to Capacity Building in the Aviation Industry”, highlighted the critical need for nurturing talent and driving long-term growth in the sector.
Ogbebo shared her thoughts on the collaboration: “Wakanow’s sponsorship plays a pivotal role in amplifying the reach and impact of the Aviation Career Seminar. With their support, we are able to provide young Nigerians with real opportunities to engage with industry professionals and gain insights that will shape their careers in aviation. This partnership is crucial to our mission of building capacity within the sector and ensuring the future of aviation in Nigeria is driven by well-informed and skilled professionals.”
“Together, we are helping build capacity in the aviation industry while positively impacting the lives of young Nigerians”, Ogbebo added.
Through Wakacares, Wakanow continues to make strides in driving impactful social change by supporting initiatives that promote education, industry growth, and youth empowerment across multiple sectors. This sponsorship further solidifies Wakanow’s commitment to making a difference in the aviation industry and the larger society.
