In her remarks, Atanda, dedicated the honour to the entire members of JCI Nigeria, especially members of the 2025 JCI Nigeria Executives, for their commitment to excellence and teamwork.
“This is indeed a very proud moment for me and for JCI Nigeria, we made history today, our ELV8 theme of rising together for a sustainable future, redefining leadership and inspiring others to lead with purpose paid off.
“When I took over the mantle of leadership of JCI Nigeria in January 2025, I made a pledge to inspire transformational change for the organisation by mobilising Nigeria’s youth, fostering community development, and positioning it as a leader in social impact both locally and globally, and I am glad we have been able to surpass our own expectations”, she added.
Additionally, during the World Congress, Atanda received the Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of JCI Nigeria, in recognition of the organisation’s exceptional Global Impact Leadership and contribution to the 2025 JCI Impact Drive.
This honour celebrates Nigeria’s outstanding commitment to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and shaping the 2025 JCI Impact Report —a testament to the passion, innovation, and dedication of every JCI Nigeria member working to create positive change across communities.
Atanda has been a long-standing member of JCI Nigeria since 2009, consistently demonstrating her ability to deliver results through a detailed, values-driven approach.
Over the years, she has earned widespread admiration for her strong work ethic and unwavering dedication to empowering young leaders across Nigeria.
