ABOUT THE Youth Leadership Series
The Youth Leadership series is an educational event open to students of Nigerian universities, entrepreneurs and young Gen Zs and millenials. The YLS was birthed as an avenue to engage and empower young Nigerians into becoming future business leaders. At the 2022 edition of the YLS, Dr Demola Sogunle, the CE of Stanbic IBTC Holdings had this to say about the YLS: “ At Stanbic IBTC, we recognise the youths are the leaders of tomorrow, and we are conversant with their needs. We thus created this platform to sensitize youths to imbibe a solution-oriented mindset. Not only to position them to think outside the box but also help them proffer solutions that will enhance the economy. We are pleased that the 2022 edition of the YLS engaged young Nigerians, and thereby set them on the path to self-discovery”.
