Saint Agomeze’s Gen Z redefining youth engagement in national discussions

The third edition of Gen Z’s Involvement in a New Nigeria (GINN 3.0) marked a significant milestone in the journey of Nigeria’s youth towards national development at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) recently.

GINN, dedicated to youth empowerment was established by Saint Chukwuemeka Agomeze and has emerged as the leading platform for Gen Z in Nigeria.
Renowned for his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to youth empowerment, Agomeze said GINN stands as a beacon of hope and action, shaping the nation’s future by harnessing the potential of the younger generation.

Agomeze has carved a niche for himself and his initiatives as a serial entrepreneur and has a heartfelt commitment to youth development. He embodies the aspirations of a generation poised to make a mark with his ventures, which include the Saints Foundation and Saints Haven Home, a testament to his unwavering dedication to societal upliftment.

GINN 3.0, themed ‘Daring to Invent the Future of Nigerian Entertainment Industry,’ was a clarion call to the youth as it highlighted the role of young Nigerians in participating and actively involved in shaping the socio-economic system of the country.

The event featured ideas, innovation, and inspiration, drawing in some of the most influential figures in Nigeria’s socio-political and entertainment spheres.

At the event was the Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Ibrahim, who underscored the national importance of GINN.
She stressed the role of Gen Z in the nation’s progress, emphasising the importance of gender equality and youth participation towards the progress of the nation.

The event was also attended by the former governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), Deputy and notable personalities from the entertainment industry, including Hilda Dokubo, Charles Inojie, Bunmi Davies, and the renowned comedian Josh 2 Funny.

Their participation not only added glamour to the event but also reinforced the message that the youth are ready and capable of driving Nigeria’s evolution.

According to Agomeze, at the core of GINN’s mission is the belief in the transformative power of the Nigerian youth. He said, “By focusing on key areas such as education, health, business, entrepreneurship, politics, entertainment, tech, and innovation, GINN aims to equip young Nigerians with the knowledge and tools they need to excel. The initiative seeks to inspire a generation to look beyond the conventional, to challenge the status quo, and to envision a Nigeria where the youth are not just participants but leaders in every sector.

“The discussions at GINN 3.0 were not just about identifying problems but about brainstorming practical, innovative solutions. It was a platform for young minds to engage with experts, learn from their experiences, and understand the dynamics of various industries.
“This exchange of knowledge is crucial in a country like Nigeria, where the youth constitute a significant portion of the population. Empowering this demographic means empowering the nation.”

Agomeze Saint Chukwuemeka’s vision for GINN goes beyond annual events. It’s about creating a sustainable movement that continues to inspire, engage, and empower young Nigerians throughout the year. It’s about building a community where young people can support each other, share resources, and collaborate on projects that have a tangible impact on society.

GINN 3.0 has solidified its position as the number one Gen-Z development platform in Nigeria, a hub of innovation, learning, and action. Under the guidance of visionaries like Agomeze Saint Chukwuemeka and with the support of key figures from various sectors, GINN is paving the way for a New Nigeria, one where the youth are at the forefront of positive change. The journey has just begun, and the possibilities are limitless.
