It is no longer news that the Foundation is currently responsible for the training of many undergraduates across different Universities in the country.

Our correspondent has gathered that over 20 secondary schools in the FCT will converge at the Charlyboy Boulevard, Gwarinpa to receive various awards for the competition. Sources have revealed that the foundation will be empowering three best students who are able to do justice to the topic earlier sent to the participating schools.
According to Joy Egbunu, CBF event resource person, the event shall introduce Charlyboy’s 63rd birthday, which holds on 19 June. According to Joy, the empowerment scheme almost coincides with the brands birthday, an indication that the best way to mark someone’s birthday is to affect a life. Speaking on the significance of the essay topic, Chizoba Okpara, CBF Progamme Officer said, the topic, “Let no one kill your dream” is significant to the lives of these young ones who may have started battling with career choice already. Charlyboy’s continuous zeal of holding onto his dream is worthy of emulation, hence the topic. ‘
