Nguvan Kyenge: The Young Entrepreneur on Silent Revolution

Tall, slim and inspiring, Arch. Nguvan Kyenge is the personification of beauty with brain. She is one of the few Benue young women that have risen to fame outside the instrumentality of politics.

The architecture graduate, rightly too, has ascended the position of a mentor to hundreds of young Nigerians, inspiring them with her personal experiences.

Unassuming, the founder and CEO of Lush Events, was in 2017 certified as a member of the John Maxwell Team. Her knack for time, the most abused factor today is amazing. She even shared her thoughts about it.

She once told her audience about time management: “When you consciously continue giving excuses not to have time it becomes the greatest enemy of yourself, personal growth and improvement. Everyone has time. You just have to modify how you use it.

“In everything you do, you need to at every giving time, prioritise what is relevant; watch less movies and focus on things that can educate you, reduce time aimlessly chatting especially on social media.

“If you’re finding it difficult to managing your time, you can itemised the things you need to do for the day and work towards achieving them. In every giving opportunity use your time wisely.”

It is manifestly clear, that she understands and recognises the importance of time management. This way, she combines her professional job seamlessly with activities, including puttting forward platform that benefit her generation, offering limitless motivation and mentorship across Nigeria.

For instance, she is able to bring young enterprising Nigerians together on the platform of Entrepreneurship Network Nigeria, an organisation she serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Through this platform, she is giving young farmers advanced opportunities to improve yield and their income. Her expliots in this area have exhibited her as a true Tiv and Benue daughter, who is preocupied by farming activities.

The expert in beauty and decoration is known for giving every client of hers just what they need. This, she does with her firm belief in the power of the mind as the greatest engine to attaining higher heights in life and that the world revolves around what the mind thinks, says and acts upon and capable of deciding what will work or not.

Arch. Nguvan has shown through all intent and purposes that she is set out to impact positively on others particularly the youth through constant engagement as a vehicle for adding more value to the society.

In her world view, productivity and attainment of goals beyond individual mindset barriers in life is what makes a man, irrespective of mistakes.

“Mistakes are life’s way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals,” she reckons, adding: “No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth.”

At every giving opportunity, she encourages youth to “shake off” their “blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit.Your turn will come okay.”

Hardworking, jovial, with love for music and home videos Arch. Nguvan uses her column: “The mindset series,” as a daily devotional to encouraging young people across the globe that are desirous to positively changing their stories.

The column, aside being regular on her Facebook Timeline, has proven to be a recipe for young persons for inspirational and motivational nuggets, ranking her very tall as an emerging life coach.

She learned the act of carving a niche for herself and impacting the society way back in her undegraduate days. Hear her: “In my final year in school, I sat with a senior colleague of mine, and in the course of our gist I mentioned with lots of admiration Architects around us making impact back then. He looked at me and said, Nguvan, you don’t have to “wish” thier life to make a mark, ‘carve your own niche.’”

Clearly, “Carve your Niche” struck a chord, stuck and have followed her to this day, as she consistently conquer uncommon grounds in not just Architecture but all that she is set out to do.

Notwithstanding her seemingly chronic nature as introvert and extremely shy personaility, her melancholic nature will often push over-analysis, logic and pessimism, yet always feeling “Not enough.”

A firm beliver in God, Arch. Nguvan believes the Almighty has placed something special in the hands of humans and none had to be like the other to be great.

“You mustn’t “know it all” to be great. You can employ the help of those who know while you focus on the little you think you know and master it well! Be you, be unique be different, Use your flavor,” she reasons.

While she is seen as being made, the architect with compassionate feelings belives she is still a work in progress. Ultimately, she encourages her listeners to think of different but unique values they can add to the status quo, thereby launching themselves to higher grounds.
