JCI Aso, Transcorp Hilton renew partnership for community development

By Abubakar Yunusa

The President of JCI Aso for 2026, JCIN Amb. Peter Emmanuel Yilbiem, has said the renewal of the organisation’s partnership with Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, reflects a shared resolve to deepen community impact and nation building.

Yilbiem spoke at the 25th anniversary celebration of JCI Aso, where he reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to Nigeria’s development through sustained collaboration with strategic partners.

He said the renewed partnership signalled a collective determination to “look forward to the next chapter, deepening our impact,” with assurances that the collaboration would continue to translate shared values into projects that uplift communities.

According to him, Transcorp Hilton’s support over the years has provided critical leverage through venue access, logistical backing and brand credibility, which have strengthened JCI Aso’s community-based initiatives.

Yilbiem noted that the long-standing relationship was founded on a common interest in youth development and national progress, adding that the partnership had gone beyond ceremonial engagements.

He said that for over two decades, the collaboration had transformed shared vision into concrete interventions visible across communities.

An organiser at the event said the partnership should be measured not merely by its longevity but by the tangible initiatives that had addressed different aspects of societal growth.

The organiser added that the collaboration had driven several interventions, including health awareness campaigns, educational outreach, environmental sustainability projects and advocacy programmes.

The anniversary, according to stakeholders, served as both a reflection on past achievements and a recommitment to strengthening community-focused development in the years ahead.
