Youth Skills & Entrepreneurship Summit - GPS 2.0
The Youth Skills & Entrepreneurship Summit is part of a growing national movement to unlock opportunities for young Nigerians. It aligns with the Government-Private Sector (GPS) Dialogue Series, a strategic platform created by the Honourable Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, to strengthen collaboration between government, industry leaders, innovators, and emerging talent.
Through the GPS Series, new ideas, partnerships, and policies are being shaped to support enterprise growth and drive a more inclusive economy. The Youth Summit brings this vision directly to the youth, transforming those conversations into real skills, mentorship, and pathways to success.
This Summit is your gateway into a larger ecosystem of programmes, initiatives, and future opportunities connected to the GPS Series. It’s more than an event, it’s an invitation to be part of a national network that is opening doors, creating jobs, and preparing young people to lead Nigeria’s economic transformation.
Be ready. Be inspired. Be part of what comes next.
