Meet our MCM, Michael Oluwatobiloba

Meet Akinnike Michael Oluwatobiloba

"At age of 16 I lost my father and eventually I lost hope in a better life. Back then, I made few mistakes but then decided to redirect my life and add a value to my community. I sponsored myself through school working with local artisans on construction sites and doing all kinds of menial jobs. Though I had many concerns in my life like bringing food on the table, I always had time to community service. I decided that I will help so many African young adult to find themselves and start taking responsibility for local problems in their community. I am currently the founder of Young Protégé Leadership Academy, an organization aimed at raising trans-generational leaders to bring about socio-economic development and growth in Africa using education and mentorship".

Tobi is a young entrepreneur, whose passion towards raising exceptional trans-generational leaders that will turn Africa around led him to be trained and equipped nationally and internationally by the Bureau of International Program, U.S Department of State, Daystar Leadership Academy and TECHCAMP West-Africa.

Tobi has designed and managed the implementation of social development projects targeted at motivating, educating and inspiring young leaders in Nigeria; especially in marginalized communities such as slums and hard-to-reach communities in Nigeria. He developed the first African leadership paper board game called Protégé LEAD game that as touched over 2500 lives and also created the protégé mobile app 1.0 which is on googleplay to educate young adults about civic and leadership education.
Just few days ago he met with the Vice President of Nigeria and he presented his Protégé LEAD game to him.
