FG Begins Training of 100,000 Youths in Financial Literacy and Investment

The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Youth Development, has launched a nationwide financial education programme in partnership with Investonaire Academy to train 100,000 Nigerian youths annually in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, global trade, and investment.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Omolara Esan, said the initiative is designed to equip young Nigerians with practical skills to boost employability, foster entrepreneurship, and promote sustainable wealth creation.

The programme will cover key areas such as commodities, gold, equities, foreign exchange, risk management, portfolio development, and wealth-building strategies. Participants will receive an industry-recognised certificate upon completion, supporting both career advancement and business growth.

According to the Ministry, training will be delivered through a Learning Management System featuring gamified learning, simulations, quizzes, and real-world trading scenarios. In-person sessions will begin in Abuja before expanding to other states.

The initiative is open to youths nationwide, including students, NYSC members, entrepreneurs, job seekers, and young professionals across all 36 states and the FCT.
