Published: June 10, 2025
In a bold move to combat youth unemployment and promote financial inclusion, the Federal Government of Nigeria has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Investonaire Academy to train 100,000 Nigerian youths annually in foreign exchange (forex) trading.
The signing ceremony took place on Monday in Abuja, with the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, and Dr. Enefola Odiba, International Programme Director at Investonaire Academy, representing both parties.
Empowering the Next Generation of Digital Entrepreneurs
Speaking at the event, Minister Olawande described the initiative as a critical step toward sustainable youth development through digital and entrepreneurial skill acquisition.
“This partnership reflects our strategic vision for sustainable youth development. Beyond trading, we’re teaching our youths to think critically, embrace digital tools, and seize global opportunities to build wealth and contribute meaningfully to the Nigerian economy,” he said.
The training program will go beyond technical forex knowledge, offering practical skills in risk management, financial literacy, and digital innovation. The aim is to equip participants not only for success in trading but to build a foundation for long-term financial independence and entrepreneurial resilience.
Commitment to Measurable Impact
The Federal Ministry of Youth Development emphasized that this is not a symbolic gesture, but a tangible action plan with a focus on transparent and measurable outcomes.
“This MoU is not just a formality. It is a commitment to action. We will ensure transparent, measurable outcomes that genuinely impact the lives of young Nigerians,” Olawande added.
A Vision for Economic Empowerment
Dr. Odiba of Investonaire Academy echoed the Minister’s sentiments, highlighting the program’s potential to transform the socio-economic landscape for Nigeria’s youth.
“Youths are the backbone of any nation. When empowered, they become catalysts for innovation and growth. This initiative is designed to bridge the socio-economic divide and unlock the immense potential of our young people,” he said.
He further noted that the training aligns with Nigeria’s broader goals for digital inclusion, economic diversification, and capacity building in innovation.
Looking Ahead
The Federal Ministry has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the effective rollout of this initiative, with excellence, transparency, and impact at its core. By equipping young Nigerians with in-demand skills, the partnership aims to position them as active players in the global economy.
This collaboration marks a promising chapter in Nigeria’s journey toward empowering its youth and building a resilient, digitally skilled workforce for the future.
