The Federal Ministry of Youth Development, in collaboration with Investonaire Academy, has opened registration for a nationwide free financial education programme aimed at training 100,000 Nigerian youths annually in financial literacy, global trade, entrepreneurship, and investment.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Omolara Esan, Director of Information & Public Relations at the Ministry.
According to the statement, the initiative underscores the Ministry’s commitment to equipping young Nigerians with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s complex financial environment. By improving access to financial education, the programme seeks to transform lives, enhance employability, and foster sustainable wealth creation nationwide.
Through this partnership, participants will gain practical exposure to global asset classes such as commodities, gold, equities, and foreign exchange, alongside training in risk management, portfolio development, and wealth-building strategies. Successful participants will be awarded industry-recognized certificates to support career growth and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The training will be delivered through an interactive Learning Management System (LMS) featuring gamified learning, simulations, quizzes, and real-life trading scenarios. Physical training sessions will also begin soon in Abuja, with plans to extend to other states.
The programme 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 and currently ongoing at www.investonaire.org.
