The Federal Ministry of Youth Development has begun registration to train 100,000 youths in financial literacy, global trade, entrepreneurship, and investing.
The free training, which will hold nationwide, is in collaboration with Investonaire Academy.
The government announced the training in a statement yesterday in Abuja by the ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Omolara Esan.
The statement said: “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-recognised 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 (FCT).
“Registration is free of charge and now open via www.investonaire.org.”
