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-recognized certificate, supporting career advancement and entrepreneurial growth.

The programme will be delivered through an engaging Learning Management System (LMS) that integrates gamified learning, simulations, quizzes, and real-world trading scenarios, making financial education accessible and interactive. In-person training sessions will also commence in Abuja shortly, with expansion to other states to follow.

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.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.

The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.

Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.

The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.

“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.

The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.

He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.

“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
