On Saturday, 28th February 2026, at the ChiYoWo Empowerment Initiative Office in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria, 15 secondary school students were trained in the use of AI tools and content creation at the ChiYoWo AI Bootcamp.
The training, which was organized in collaboration with Trio.io Institute, exposed participants to hands-on practical experience in using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and NotebookLM to create stories, flyers, and video content.
Addressing the participants, Mrs. Tokunbo Ifaturoti, Founder of ChiYoWo, commended the participants for attending the program despite being on midterm break. She encouraged them to pay attention, engage actively with the facilitator, and make the best use of the opportunity to enhance their academic performance. She also emphasized that the skills acquired could empower them to earn income even while still in school.
In her vote of thanks, Zainab Akinsanya expressed her excitement and appreciation to ChiYoWo and Trio.io Institute for organizing the program. She said, “I can now create images, edit pictures, and produce videos. I sincerely appreciate the organizers for making this possible.”
Sofia, in her remarks, said, “I almost missed out on this program, but considering what I have learned today, I am glad I did not miss this opportunity.” Similarly, Silvia expressed her gratitude for learning how to create a YouTube faceless video, edit pictures, and produce animations. She also appreciated ChiYoWo and Trio.io Institute for the opportunity.
To wrap up the event, an aptitude test was conducted, and the top seven students on the grading list were awarded a two-month scholarship to further study advanced AI at Trio.io Institute.
We sincerely appreciate the participating schools, students, teachers, volunteers, and facilitator for making the program a success. We also deeply appreciate Trio.io Institute for the collaboration and look forward to many more impactful partnerships in the future.
