Project Overview
The Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) is a prominent organization committed to promoting human capital development and competent leadership in Africa, particularly Nigeria. The NYPF hosted a summit in London in September 2019, titled “Competent Leadership: Key to Unleashing Nigeria’s Potentials,” to address critical issues affecting young Africans, including illegal migration, cybercrime, and terrorism.
The Challenge
The NYPF sought to convene a high-profile summit that would attract international attention and support for addressing pressing issues impacting Africa’s youth. The event aimed to engage global stakeholders, including the Financial Times, to foster dialogue and action towards sustainable development and competent leadership in Africa.
