Nestlé Nigeria Renews Youth Entrepreneurship Partnership at Abuja Summit

Nestlé Nigeria has reaffirmed its eight-year partnership with the Activate Success International Foundation at the 2026 National Youth Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Summit in Abuja, themed "Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Courage and Impact."

Speaking at the summit, Nestlé Nigeria's Head of Corporate Communications, Public Affairs and Sustainability, Victoria Uwadoka, pointed to Nigeria's youth-heavy population as the reason continued investment in entrepreneurship support matters. With more than 70% of Nigerians under 35, she noted, initiatives like YEEP are becoming vital platforms for nurturing talent and preparing the country's next generation of business leaders.

As part of the summit, 25 young Nigerians also received business grants of ₦500,000 each through a related National Youth Service Corps entrepreneurship initiative, supported by Flutterwave — a reminder that these partnerships translate into real funding on the ground, not just conference talk.
