The Federal Ministry of Youth Development has partnered with Investonaire Academy to commence registration for a nationwide financial education programme that will train 100,000 youths annually in financial literacy, global trade, entrepreneurship, and investment.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Omolara Esan, on Wednesday.
Esan said the initiative reflects the ministry’s commitment to empowering Nigerian youths by transforming lives, improving employability, and promoting sustainable wealth creation.
She said, “The Federal Ministry of Youth Development, in partnership with Investonaire Academy, has commenced registration for a nationwide free financial education programme that will train 100,000 Nigerian youths annually in financial literacy, global trade, entrepreneurship, and investing.
“This strategic initiative reflects the ministry’s commitment to empowering young Nigerians with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in today’s complex financial landscape. By expanding access to financial education, the programme aims to transform lives, improve employability, and promote sustainable wealth creation across the country.
“Through this collaboration, participants will benefit from a comprehensive and practical learning platform covering global asset classes such as commodities, gold, equities, and foreign exchange, alongside training in risk management, portfolio development, and wealth-building strategies. Graduates of the programme will receive an industry-recognised certificate, supporting career advancement and entrepreneurial growth.”
The ministry said the programme will be delivered through a Learning Management System that integrates gamified learning, simulations, quizzes, and real-world trading scenarios. In-person training sessions will also begin in Abuja, with plans to extend to other states.
“The initiative is open to all Nigerian youths, including students, NYSC members, entrepreneurs, job seekers, and young professionals across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Registration is free of charge and now open via www.investonaire.org,” the statement added.
