The President/CEO of Waterlight Save Initiative, Prince Ero Ibhafidon, said the forum, themed “Youth Empowerment for a Sustainable Future,” will focus on equipping young leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs with the tools and opportunities needed to drive sustainable development in the areas of health, education, and economic empowerment.
He explained that the initiative aligns with its "#iHEALBlueprint" aimed at fostering creative youth development and sustainable solutions across Africa.
The statement said: “The forum is targeted at young leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and activists committed to making local and global impact. According to the organisers, participants will have access to global mentors, policymakers, and industry leaders, alongside high-level leadership and capacity-building sessions.
“Attendees are also expected to benefit from networking opportunities with youths across Nigeria and beyond, exposure to career and innovation pathways, and visibility for their ideas and projects. Participants will receive certificates of participation and official recognition, with access to non-refundable grant opportunities and potential startup equipment support to scale their ventures.
"The Forum goes beyond dialogue; it is a results-driven platform designed to equip participants with practical tools, funding pathways, strategic partnerships, and implementation support.
"This is where ideas move from conversation to implementation." Young leaders ready to build, innovate, and lead the future are encouraged to scan the registration link or visit the website at www.waterlightsave.africa and secure their participation.”
