The Northern Divisional Head of Keystone Bank Plc, Falaki Akinsanmi, has promised to sponsor the winners of the Nook International Fashion Show for Master’s programmes at any university of their choice in Nigeria.
He made the assurance at the fashion show’s programme co-sponsor by Keystone Bank held in Porth Harcourt, Rivers State Capital.
The Nook International Fashion Show is the maiden edition of the show where fashion and lifestyle came into play at the Nooks Apartment in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The three-day event was to engender new dimensions to fashion and borne out of the necessity to enhance and advance the fashion industry in the region and the country.
The event had top designers from Lagos, Abuja and other parts of the world creating magnificent outfits and showing amazing collections.
Falaki, an advocate of talent development, at the event encouraged the winners and all participants to prioritise self and personal discovery and celebrate their talents against all odds.
“I represent Keystone Bank and we support the young people. We want the young people to grow because we grow together.
“Most times, people don’t understand and appreciate people when they showcase their talents. We have reached an era where we need to understand, identify and encourage talents.
“For me, if you the winners want to embark on your Master’s Degree at any University in Nigeria, I will personally take up the sponsorship because you have made us proud,” he said.
I believe that every human being has the capacity to grow, heal, and live a life of purpose. A healthy mind is the foundation for a productive life, and when individuals are mentally sound and purpose-driven, they become catalysts for transformation in their families, communities, and society.
My mission is to inspire and equip adults to develop sound mental health, discover and fulfill their purpose, and transform their communities through a structured and proven development system.
I believe that we rise by lifting others. True leadership is not measured by personal success alone but by the number of lives empowered, strengthened, and elevated along the way. Therefore, I commit myself to creating pathways that help individuals become better thinkers, better leaders, and better contributors to society.
I am dedicated to promoting growth through well-defined processes, best practices, high standards, and credible systems that encourage continuous personal development and the advancement of mankind.
My life and leadership are guided by these core principles:
Trust
I will build relationships based on reliability, respect, and accountability. Trust is the foundation of influence and sustainable impact.
Integrity
I will act with honesty, transparency, and strong moral principles in all circumstances. My character will remain consistent whether seen or unseen.
Meaningful and Progressive Conversations
I believe transformation begins with honest dialogue. I will encourage conversations that challenge thinking, inspire growth, and lead to practical solutions.
Zero Tolerance for Bias and Sentiment
I will pursue fairness, objectivity, and principled decision-making. Truth, justice, and progress must never be compromised by prejudice or sentiment.
Timely Action
Vision becomes reality through decisive action. I will act with discipline, urgency, and responsibility to turn ideas into meaningful results.
Through these commitments, I dedicate my life to empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and contributing to the sustainable development of humanity.
I will continually strive to grow, to serve, and to lift others—because when people rise in purpose and mental strength, communities flourish and humanity advances.
