Nigerian-based African-focused Under35CEO, a top business and entrepreneurial blog for young/aspiring entrepreneurs has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise  $7,000 to empower youth in Nigeria and Africa at large.

Set to begin with over 60 teenagers in the first quarter of this year, in 3 states in Nigeria [Osun, Ibadan and Lagos state], in Nigeria, the team aims to raise the funds to cover the cost of programing, traveling expenses, training kits, website design/hosting, venues, accommodation and many more.

Yinka Brand, the Editor and Co-founder of Under35CEO, said the project dubbed Empower-A-Teen [EAT], a social development project aims at empowering teenagers in Nigeria and Africa as they determine the future of Africa.

EAT will empower the teenagers via skill acquisitions, scholarship, talent, leadership and entrepreneurial development programmes.

“More than half of the entire world’s population is under 25-years-old and …“In a few years, 1 out of every 4 under25-years-olds will be in Africa.” By this, we see a big need to empower the African teens starting from Nigeria”, says Yinka. ”We believe they are the change Africa seeks and we are committed to empowering them.”
