Richards Akonam Joins The VALOR as International Director
The VALOR is happy to announce that Richards Chybuikem Akonam has accepted to join the team as International Director for the 2018-2019 session. Richards was tapped in July of 2018 after the Founding Director of The VALOR Dr. David Olali saw and watched a Facebook video which captures some of the former’s forceful and radical campaigns against the “Money Woman” 
phenomenon.
The Office of the International Director (ID) coordinates and synchronizes activities of The VALOR chapters. It facilitates life-transforming programs, advises the Board and founders on leadership strategies and implementation. The office of ID also requests, receives, and provides performance reports on chapters as warranted, among other functions. More about the ID here.

Akonam’s comes to The VALOR with experience as an accomplished executive and transformation-agent, who holds enormous first-hand experience and expertise in education, human resources and project management, and administration. His daunting and proven record of contributing to sustainable community growth and development aside, Richards drives organizational profitability as a trusted advisor and program implementation strategist.

A prolific conference speaker, Richards was featured on TEDx where he delivered a speech about his social campaigns against the “Money Woman” phenomenon. And very recently, in fact, no sooner had he accepted to join The VALOR than he organized a timely training on girl and women education in August of 2018.
Richards is a team builder and family-oriented leader. He currently lives in Nigeria with his adorable and supportive wife, Mrs Grace their children Glorypraise, Preach and Chinonso. Both Richards and Grace are pastors and leaders at Faithhouse Missions, a non-denominational outfit which provides relief and support to underprivileged persons.
