Owerri will play host to a major convergence of young leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives and faith-based professionals as the Faith, Life, Leadership and Entrepreneurship (FLE) Global Festival takes center stage on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
The annual conference, now in its second edition, is convened by Dr. Miracle Anyanwu, a medical doctor, life coach and founder of the FLE Global Network. Dr. Anyanwu, who is based in the United States, hails from Imo State and has continued to use his platform to mentor and empower young people across Nigeria and beyond. Over the years, he has championed youth-focused outreach initiatives centered on leadership growth, character development and entrepreneurship, driven by the belief that African youths can become global change-makers when provided with the right inspiration and opportunities.
Speaking during a press briefing in Owerri, Dr. Anyanwu described this year’s event, themed “The Success Code,” as a divinely inspired vision designed to unlock the potentials of emerging leaders. He explained that the festival is not just a conference but a transformational experience intended to equip participants with the knowledge and mindset necessary to excel in life, business, faith and leadership.
“This festival is born out of passion and a calling to impact lives,” he said. “We want to give young people a clear sense of purpose and direction. They will learn, network, worship, and receive mentorship even after the conference. This is beyond motivation — it’s empowerment.”
According to him, the 2025 edition of the festival is all-encompassing, featuring global speakers, worship sessions, panel discussions, outdoor and indoor games, as well as a series of empowerment and charity initiatives. Highlights will include the presentation of awards, scholarship grants, and distribution of laptops, power banks, and food items to selected participants.
The festival is expected to host over 5,000 registered participants from at least seven states across the federation.
Dr. Anyanwu noted that the program will focus on character development, spiritual awakening, financial literacy, leadership capacity building and business development — all aimed at “unlocking the success code” for youth advancement.
