We understand that today’s youth face significant challenges—ranging from unemployment and lack of access to quality education, to mental health stigma and the absence of strong mentorship. Our mission is to stand in the gap, creating platforms that transform potential into achievement.
Nigeria’s youth are brimming with ambition and creativity, but societal barriers often limit their progress. IRYEF was founded to change this reality—by advocating, educating, mentoring, and empowering youth to become the architects of their own futures.
A society where youth are equipped and empowered to transform their ideals into realities—emerging as visionary leaders, problem-solvers, and agents of change.
To implement holistic programs that meet the diverse needs of youth, equipping them with skills, guidance, and opportunities that inspire growth and drive social impact.
SPLIN guides students through life beyond academics—covering self-mastery, career readiness, financial literacy, goal-setting, and social media etiquette. It helps young people discover their strengths and harness them for a purposeful life.
An annual summit that connects youth with inspiring role models—entrepreneurs, public figures, and industry leaders—sharing stories of both success and failure. Over 4,500 students have walked away inspired and ready to pursue their dreams.
