Bimbo Akintola joins CYIAC as Goodwill Ambassador



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.

Bimbo, a renowned, and award winning actress is 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 in Abuja in 2014.

ITRealms recalls that every year, Bimbo finances and hosts a Christmas party for Children with special needs. Her passion to lead change in Children and Youth began in February 2017 on the platform of Vision of the Child. She continues her award winning career, spanning Nollywood, television as well as life theatre. She is one of the few Nollywood actresses who have extensive credits coupled with moral values in both Nollywood and on stage.
