Wakanow, a leading online travel agency, has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering growth in Nigeria’s aviation industry and making a lasting social impact through its Wakacares Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
As part of this commitment, Wakanow has partnered with Mama J Aviation Consult as a sponsor of the Aviation Career Seminar, a premier event aimed at empowering the next generation of aviation professionals.
The partnership was formalized during a visit by Joy Ogbebo, CEO of Mama J Aviation Consult, to Wakanow’s headquarters in Lagos.
Ogbebo was warmly received by Adenike Macaulay, CEO of Wakanow Nigeria, who reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote education, industry growth, and youth empowerment.
Macaulay emphasized Wakanow’s focus on creating social impact through industry-focused CSR initiatives, saying, “At Wakanow, our commitment to empowering future leaders in the aviation sector goes beyond business. Through Wakacares, we believe that by supporting initiatives like the Aviation Career Seminar, we can make a significant difference in the lives of young Nigerians and contribute to the development of society.”
Through Wakacares, Wakanow continues to make strides in driving impactful social change across multiple sectors.
This sponsorship further solidifies Wakanow’s commitment to making a difference in the aviation industry and the larger society.
Ogbebo noted that Wakanow’s sponsorship plays a pivotal role in amplifying the reach and impact of the event, providing young Nigerians with real opportunities to engage with industry professionals and gain insights that will shape their careers in aviation.
“Wakanow’s support is crucial to our mission of building capacity within the sector and ensuring the future of aviation in Nigeria is driven by well-informed and skilled professionals,” Ogbebo added.
“Together, we are helping build capacity in the aviation industry while positively impacting the lives of young Nigerians.”
The Aviation Career Seminar, now in its 8th year, is a vital platform for career advocacy in Nigeria’s aviation industry.
The event, held October 4, 2024, at The NCAA Annex, Ikeja, provided a unique opportunity for aspiring aviation professionals to connect with industry experts and explore career opportunities.
The seminar’s theme, “Proactive Approach to Capacity Building in the Aviation Industry,” highlighted the critical need for nurturing talent and driving long-term growth in the sector.
