The African Capital Alliance Foundation has successfully concluded the third edition of its flagship Ethical Living Project (ELP) 3.0, reinforcing its commitment to raising a generation of ethical leaders through values-based education. The programme reached 4,145 senior secondary school students across 40 schools in the six Education Districts of Lagos State over a six-week period.

Implemented in partnership with Enactus Nigeria and supported by the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, the programme delivered interactive workshops on ethics, integrity, leadership, and responsible citizenship, culminating in an essay writing competition that attracted 2,888 submissions and a grand finale attended by more than 500 participants.

Since its launch in 2024, the Ethical Living Project has continued to expand its impact. The 2026 edition doubled participation from the previous year, growing from 20 to 40 schools and reaching nearly twice as many students, reflecting the Foundation’s sustained investment in character development and ethical leadership among young Nigerians.

Through initiatives such as the Ethical Living Project, ACA Foundation remains committed to equipping young people with the values and skills needed to make ethical decisions, lead with integrity, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the nation’s future.
