British Council IYXE Award Winner Ejiro Umukoro (Lady E) Opens Language Clinic to Raise the Standard of Education in Asaba

Long before winning the prestigious British Council International Communications Entrepreneurs Award, Lady E LightRay Ejiro Umukoro, was a multi award radio and TV broadcaster who used her social enterprise company, TV and radio show programmes to launch many unknown youth into discovering their voice who, today as we speak, shine on the world stage.

Developing the Art of Public Speaking

Through her youth programme, GE-Factor Star Search, she exposed many youth to the possibilities of their potentials from her early days in Port Harcourt City in Rivers State. Lady E was instrumental in discovering and mentoring Timi Dakolo, sacrificing all she had to see him compete favourably and emerge Winner as the first West African Idol in 2007. It was also through this programme she mentored Mark Angel, the prolific satirical comedian and YouTube sensation to tap into his own voice to actualised his true calling.

Today, Timi and Mark, including tens of other successful youth who have passed through the GE-Factor programme are a true testimony of the power of true mentorship fuelled by a woman's passion to impact and uplift every single Nigeria child to go on to fulfill their dreams.

Critical Thinking & Reasoning Skills 

Fast Forward to 2017, Lady E, as she's fondly called, is set to tackle what she refers to as "bad education" and the socio-economic menace she describes as “graduate illiterates” who have certificates from colleges, universities and other tertiary institutions but can’t read or write simple sentences through LELC a professional training centre for the application of English language in creative careers for Young and Adult learners.
