The Nigeria Youth Futures Fund – How to Apply – More over 70% of Nigeria’s population is under the age of 30, with projections of further increase in the coming decades.

Nigerian youth participation in leadership and politics has evolved over time.

The Nigerian youth ecosystem has witnessed a re-awakening, from the heritage of active student federalism (1980s), where universities functioned as places for intellectual discussion and youth expression, to the youth-organized time aided by new media (2010-present). Type

The #NotTooYoungToRun campaign (2016-2018), as well as a major growth in awareness of youth movements and socio-economic and political indices in Nigeria, show that young Nigerians have a growing leadership potential.

Given the plethora of social problems and policy failures that young Nigerians encounter, they are empowered by driving societal change through powerful institutions, organizations, and groups. Are becoming increasingly ready to act.

The Nigeria Youth Futures Fund – How to Apply – Young Nigerians are clearly investigating alternate leadership and funding models facilitated by digital technology, as evidenced by recent youth movements and protests.
