The economic realities facing young Nigerians demand urgent and innovative interventions. High unemployment rates, limited access to credit, and barriers to business growth continue to stifle youth-led economic transformation.

This pillar will explore strategies for job creation, expanding youth entrepreneurship, and strengthening the digital and informal economy. It will also highlight the role of financial inclusion, business-friendly policies, and innovative funding mechanisms in empowering young entrepreneurs. Discussions will focus on ensuring that the economic landscape is structured to support youth-led enterprises, including through targeted policies that facilitate access to capital, training, and mentorship opportunities.

The goal is to establish a sustainable framework for economic empowerment that enables young Nigerians to contribute meaningfully to national development.
