From Donation to Deployment: Building Nigeria’s Youth Economy
Join us at the Youth Empowerment Summit 2025 : November 12, Oduduwa Hall, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State., where corporate leaders, youth innovators, and development partners co-create scalable, measurable impact.
One Day. A Decade of Impact.
The Youth Empowerment Summit 2025 is more than an event…it’s the launchpad for a generation of Nigerian changemakers. Hosted by Youth Empowerment Mobility (YEM) under GRIP, the summit aligns resources, innovation, and measurable action through the CSRise platform.
For too long, Nigeria’s youth development has been fragmented, brilliant young minds scattered across disconnected programs, corporate CSR budgets spread thin without measurable outcomes, and potential left unrealized. This summit changes that narrative entirely.
On November 12, 2025, we’re bringing together 500 of Nigeria’s most promising young leaders with corporate executives, policy makers, and development partners under one roof at Oduduwa Hall, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.. But our impact extends far beyond.
What makes this summit revolutionary isn’t just the scale, but the system. Through CSRise, every connection made, every skill developed, and every project funded becomes part of a trackable, measurable ecosystem. Sponsors don’t just give, they co-invest. Youth don’t just attend they access year-round opportunities. Partners don’t just participate, they drive sustainable change.
This is where Nigeria’s demographic dividend transforms from potential into prosperity. One day of convergence, creating a decade of measurable impact.
Why It Matters?
The Numbers Don't Lie
Nigeria has over 150 million young people, the world’s largest youth population. Yet 40% are unemployed, and billions in CSR spending produces scattered results with no measurable impact. We’re sitting on untapped potential while our greatest asset remains underutilized and disconnected from real opportunities.
The Solution We're Building
CSRise transforms CSR from charity handouts into strategic partnerships. We connect corporate sponsors directly with youth-led SDG projects, provide real-time impact tracking, and create measurable outcomes. Companies become co-investors in Nigeria’s future, not just donors writing checks and hoping for change.
The Moment We Can't Miss
This is Nigeria’s demographic dividend window, the same opportunity that transformed South Korea, Singapore, and China into economic powerhouses. Countries that systematically invest in youth during demographic transitions win big. Delay means losing a generation of potential and falling further behind.
