JCI Nigeria’s Oluwatoyin Atanda Named 2025 Most Outstanding National President
Oluwatoyin Atanda, the 2025 National President of Junior Chamber International (JCI) Nigeria, has been honoured as the Most Outstanding National President among more than 100 leaders of the global youth organisation.
The announcement was made on Saturday, November 8, 2025, during the JCI World Congress Gala Night held in Tunis, Tunisia.
Atanda, who also serves as the Senior Special Assistant to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Establishments and Training, dedicated the award to members of JCI Nigeria, especially her 2025 executive team.
“This is a proud moment for me and JCI Nigeria. Our ELV8 theme – rising together for a sustainable future, redefining leadership, and inspiring others to lead with purpose has truly paid off,” Atanda said in her acceptance speech.
Since assuming leadership in January 2025, Atanda has focused on mobilising Nigerian youth, promoting community development, and positioning JCI Nigeria as a global force for social impact.
At the World Congress, she also received a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of JCI Nigeria for the organisation’s exceptional global impact and contribution to the 2025 JCI Impact Drive.
She noted that the recognition underscores Nigeria’s commitment to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and highlights JCI Nigeria’s role in shaping the 2025 JCI Impact Report.
