Sure Hope Counseling Clinic and Career Development and Counseling Centre of the University of Ibadan joined forces to facilitate “Before You Say I Do” Singles Conference on Saturday, at the LLT, Faculty of Social Science.
The event attracted attendees from diverse backgrounds, who all participated in discussions and interactive sessions led by seasoned experts in the fields of counseling and psychology.
Mrs. Tosin Togun, a Counseling Psychologist and the lead consultant for Sure Hope Clinic, shared her personal journey.
She gave her experience as a child of divorced parents and the driving force behind her commitment to supporting singles.
She said: “Growing up in a home where my parents’ marriage didn’t thrive, I felt compelled to make a difference.
“The inspiration to help singles stems from my own journey and the realization that love, when understood and nurtured correctly, forms the foundation of a lasting marriage.”
Earlier in his lecture, Professor I.P. Onyeonoru, Director of the Career Development and Counseling Centre at the University of Ibadan, emphasized the significance of making informed decisions before embarking on the journey of marriage.
“Many marital crises arise from hasty decisions made without adequate preparation and understanding.
“Our aim is to equip singles with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of relationships and marriage, empowering them to make informed choices for their future.” Professor Onyeonoru said.
The conference provided a platform for attendees to engage in insightful discussions on various aspects of relationships, with a particular focus on understanding the dynamics of love and its role in fostering successful marriages.
