Welcoming guests to the event, the CEO of CorpNation Foundation, Saviour Kwaku Adzika, popularly called Corp Sayvee, revealed that several local communities in the Western Region have unique stories and challenges thus the objective of the community hype event is to provide a platform for dialogue and partnership, to showcase the uniqueness of each community.

He promised the commitment of the CorpNation Foundation to support regular dialogues for the benefit of youth and the communities.

A mentorship and career development seminar, titled “Entreprenuership and Hand Skills Development” was held on Day-1 of the programme.
