Nnaji Chukwuka Tobias, who was recently crowned Mr Tourism Nigeria, has shared some of the challenges he encountered along the way.
According to him, there were so many different areas that put him to the test; from the physical demands of the various challenges to the mental and emotional toll of being away from home, and constantly pushing himself out of his comfort zone.
“If I had to pinpoint one specific challenge, I would say it was the dance rehearsals. Now, don’t get me wrong; I love to dance and I have always considered myself to be pretty good at it. But when I was asked to learn choreography for the competition, I quickly realized that I had a lot to learn,” he confessed to Saturday Sun.
Speaking on his pet projects, Nnaji who is an Electrical Engineering graduate from University of Nigeria, Nsukka, noted that giving back to his community is something that he had always looked forward to.
“I am passionate about empowering the young generation by helping them learn new skills that can set them up for a successful future. I believe that education is important, but I also know that many young people face obstacles when it comes to gaining practical experience or developing marketable skills. That’s why I want to start a pet project that focuses on helping the youth in my local community of Enugu State, so they can learn a skill while they are pursuing their education.”
