Notable Nollywood actress and Director of both
TV Series and movies, Bimbo Akintola has joined the Creative Youth Initiative
Against Corruption (CYIAC) as its Goodwill Ambassador, reports ITRealms.
Bimbo’s appointment, ITRealms gathered is to
help raise global awareness for the promotion of culture of integrity, curb
corruption among children, youth and adults through creative, innovation and
entrepreneurship development in Nigeria and Africa.
CYIAC campaign, ITRealms gathered, is focusing on
corruption; which is the biggest impediments to achieving Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Also, CYIAC says its strategy is to promote
creativity, develop talents and build confidence whilst encouraging culture of
integrity. At CYIAC, children and youth are provided with capabilities they
require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods,
contribute to peace, justice and strong institutions and take bold steps in
creating the future they desire through creative thinking and innovation.

a philanthropist who has dedicated her time and capital resources to helping
those in need. In 2013 she took part in a walk to raise awareness for Breast
and Prostate Cancer which took place in Lagos and a walk for Autism awareness
