In lure of this, she organizes annually various programmes which are targeted at the young at heart of our society, one of which is the LASUSU LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE.
The LASUSU leadership conference is  an initiative of the students of Lagos state university (LASU) and is domicile at the Lagos state University College Of Medicine, Ikeja; at its last two (2) editions it has attracted eminent personalities such as the immediate past executive governor of Lagos; Gov.

John Obafunwa  (vice-chancellor LASU), Prof. G.O.G Awosanya (provost, college of Medicine) to mention a few.

The conference is aimed at fostering a drastic paradigm shift from that which our society currently presents to this generation of our young, by re-engineering the minds of our youths to seeing leadership as a service centred enterprise, develop a sense of deep patriotism that is most needed to drive the needed change in our nation and bring us to a greater realization; that to achieve any of this is possible via her (youth) abilities which are endless.
