Bridge Leadership Foundation marks 15 years of youth transformation as Otu Hails Imoke’s leadership legacy

Governor Bassey Otu has described the Bridge Leadership Foundation as one of Cross River State’s most impactful investments in human capital, commending its Founder and former Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, for sustaining a vision that has transformed more than 200,000 young people through leadership development, mentorship and employability programmes over the past 15 years.

In his welcome address, Senator Imoke said the Foundation was established in 2011 to bridge the disconnect between gifted young people and opportunities for leadership, personal development and national service.” Otu said the Foundation had become a model for youth empowerment by consistently bridging the gap between talent and opportunity, producing a generation of responsible, ethical and visionary leaders capable of driving sustainable development within and beyond Cross River State.
