Young Entrepreneurs Summit 2022
Theme: “2023: The Voice of the Nigerian Youths”.
Influential youth personalities, business experts, political figures and mentors came together to discuss the challenges facing young Nigerians and how to solve them.
With the 2023 general election approaching, the summit put one presidential candidate, two senatorial candidates and three House of Representatives candidates on stage to listen to young people's ideas, suggestions and challenges.
Youth patrons and mentors gave talks on the entrepreneurship challenges young people face in business. Awards went to guest speakers, to exceptional young entrepreneurs who succeeded despite the odds, and to youth patrons recognised for their philanthropy and mentorship.
