The African Children Talent Discovery Foundation recently unveiled the ACTDF Unleash Your Talent, purely a talent hunt initiative which seeks to expose raw talents in singing , dancing and acting.

The zonal competitions will take place on the 17th, 18th and 19th of August 2017. We expect at least 3 winners to emerge from the zones before slugging it out at the grand finale in Port Harcourt.

The first prize winners at the grand finale in Port Harcourt in each category of singing , dancing and acting will win respective contracts of N1million plus cash prizes and also join on the trip to New York for the UN Summit while the first and second runners up will get varied contracts in their respective fields worth millions of naira as well as cash prizes also.

This event is cued into this year's United Nations General Assembly Summit which has tagged this year the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.

"We shall hopefully be in the United States come September to depict the potentials in our youths and practically show how we could use it to drive the tourism sector in Nigeria through our various slated side events and general meetings.

"Just as we go round scouting for talents and helping them earn a living we also believe that harnessing these human resources could help improve tourism whether in sports, singing, acting, dancing or even sheer gift of craft- making.

"At the grand finale in Port Harcourt, we look forward to hosting a most successful event that will give our teeming youths a chance to celebrate life and enjoy it to the fullest. When we see our efforts impact positively on the needy and watch them in turn use their God- given talents to influence the larger society positively, we become satisfied as this is just the only way great nations evolve - investing in their human and material resource as depicted by the ACTDF logo: Talent Is Great Resource," Engr. Noah Dallaji, President of ACTDF stated.

Present at the unveiling include, Ejike Asiegbu, Segun Arinze, Emeka Rollas, Thelma Ojiji, Abubakar Yakubu, Lillian Esoro, Yemi Blaq and many others.
