Today, I was ably represented by my S.A Dr. Robert Ngwu as I was given the honour of unveiling the NextGen Innovators Challenge 2025—a bold step in our mission to turn Nigeria into an innovation powerhouse.
This isn’t just a programme—it’s a national movement under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. We are calling on young Nigerians from all 774 local governments to rise with their ideas, solutions, and inventions. From clean energy to smart agriculture, biotech to ICT, this is your platform. This is your moment.
Together with NBTI, UKALD, and our partners, we’re building pipelines between grassroots genius and global opportunities. We’re breaking the barriers that have held back too many of our brightest minds.
Let us build a Nigeria where innovation is not a privilege, ut a culture.
The eagle does not flee from the storm. It rises because of it.
Let us rise.
