6 Thematic Areas

Youth &
Skill

Out of 200 million people in Nigeria, 50% of them are aged below 35 years and below
UN projects growth of 400 million by 2050 – a staggering 100% increase in 30 years

By 2035, 74% of the global youth population will be in ten countries, nine in Sub-Saharan Africa, one of which is Nigeria

Driven by factors like limited economic opportunities and a desire for better prospects, Nigerian youth make up a large segment of the growing migrant population, causing significant human and intellectual flight.

By investing in youth development and fostering a more robust economy, Nigeria can create conditions that empower its young people to thrive and contribute locally, while also offering safe and legal migration pathways for those seeking opportunities abroad.
