From Olusegun Eluyode
The Exceptional Girls International Conference (EGIC 2025), 3rd edition, brought together girls aged 13 to 20 for a transformative experience. The grand finale of the event was held on the 30th August, 2025 in Ogba, Lagos, following a virtual opening session on the first day.
Organized by The Preserved Vessels Ministry Foundation International (TPVMFI), the conference featured renowned speakers from across the globe, delivering powerful messages of empowerment, purpose, and leadership.
Convener of the event and President of TPVMFI, Roseline Adams Aigbokhan, shared three powerful keys to being exceptional: What you know, Who you know, and Who you are becoming daily. She encouraged the girls to prioritize inner growth over outward appearance — to seek knowledge, add value through intentional learning, and cultivate quality, godly relationships. She reminded participants that becoming exceptional is a daily journey shaped by choices and character, inspiring them to build strong values, sharpen professional skills, and embrace the truth that the best of us is within — and that is what makes us exceptional everywhere we go.
Other keynote speakers delivered equally impactful sessions. Coach Annie, Founder of Elevate Consulting (US), spoke on The Girl Who Knows Her Why: Faith, Values, and Purpose, emphasizing that faith empowers us to walk through fear and that true value never diminishes when overlooked by others. Kyara Ofuani, non-profit attorney and legal consultant, highlighted Self-care, Hygiene, and Purpose, encouraging the girls to embrace their worth, practice excellence even with little, and walk daily with God.
Yemi Okoro, Founder of the The Equipped Bride and Co-founder of Bread A Child Foundation, underscored the power of mindset, noting that the enemy’s greatest battle is against the information and beliefs that shape the mind.
Other notable speakers included Monica Simpson, Svettlana Chatterjee, Dr. Tayelolu, Dr. Esther Samson Ukaria, Temitope Elias, Bukie Adebola-Ezeh, Nkechi Okoh, Angel Theodore, and Lungile Mauvhelwana.
And other amazing facilitators included Olufunke Ogunsulire, Segun Eluyode, Tanesha Moody, Shalom Kholar, Engr. Yakubu Nurudeen, Amb. Divine Ada otu, Min. Blessing Ese Anarobi, Wunmi Adeshipe, Kikelomo Oludipe, Suchitaa PateIs, Blessing Obasi and Bunmi Olugbamila.
The event also featured music, dance, and the presentation of gifts to all attendees, creating a memorable and uplifting experience.
The EGIC 2025 continues to stand as a beacon of hope and empowerment, equipping young girls to live boldly, pursue purpose, and embrace the exceptional life God has called them to.
