WHO WE ARE
“The Key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best” – Epictetus
The Champions Club is a members club and was founded in 1998. The idea was borne out of the need to build sustainable solutions to professional, business, employment and personal development challenges facing young men of Nigerian extraction at the time.
The goal for this trailblazing initiative was to focus on personal and community capacity building initiatives embracing the core values of – growth, integrity, respect, compassion, collaboration, passion and leadership
Our mandate simply was to provide a credible and sturdy platform for personal development and professional growth.
An extraordinary network united in a brotherhood, the Champions Club answers an unequivocal “Yes!” to the age old question, “Am I my brother's keeper?”
WHAT WE DO

The Champions Club are on a mission of empowerment; to continuously create and nurture the next set of leaders, innovators and creative thinkers within our sphere of influence.
Empowerment for us is the promotion of a planned and conscious movement away from a deficit-oriented perception of one's self towards a more strength-oriented position. Our society, can only but benefit from this.
