Jamie Pajoel International (JPI) is excited to announce PWAN Group as the Headline Sponsor for the upcoming Youth Leadership Convention. Dr. Jamie Pajoel expressed gratitude to PWAN Group for their unwavering commitment to youth development and economic empowerment, which has been a cornerstone of JPI’s success.
The JPI Youth Leadership Convention press conference was held on October 18, 2024, at Marina Hall, Radisson Blu, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
Recent global events have shown that young people are at the forefront of social change. At Jamie Pajoel International, the importance and capacity of youth leaders to drive community transformation are highly recognized. According to the United Nations, there are currently 1.2 billion young people aged 15 to 24, making up 16 percent of the global population.
By 2030, the year targeted for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the global youth population is projected to reach 1.3 billion, a 7 percent increase. As young people increasingly demand more just, equitable, and progressive opportunities, the need to address the multifaceted challenges they face—such as access to education, healthcare, employment, and gender equality—has become more urgent.
Youth can be a powerful force for development when given the knowledge and opportunities to thrive.
Jamie Pajoel International is a global youth leadership organization dedicated to equipping young minds with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to excel as leaders and entrepreneurs. The organization’s bold vision is to raise young leaders who will transform their communities and nations.
JPI’s goal is to reach 1,000,000 members, execute 100,000 community projects, and establish chapters in 30 countries, creating a global network of empowered young leaders.
Over the years, JPI has made significant progress in nurturing young leaders, reaching important milestones that reflect the organization’s dedication to youth development.
Since its inception in 2009, JPI has hosted Nigeria’s largest youth leadership convention, providing a platform for young people to cultivate leadership skills and a passion for positive change. Today, Jamie Pajoel International directly and indirectly impacts 5 million young leaders in Nigeria, reaffirming its commitment to empowering the next generation.
In 2023, JPI sponsored 27 Nigerian youths to attend an all-expense-paid leadership conference in Rwanda, broadening their perspectives and networks. The organization has also established State Chapters across all 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory, ensuring nationwide reach.
Additionally, JPI plans to offer business grants to Nigerian youth, supporting entrepreneurship and driving economic growth. Through these initiatives, Jamie Pajoel International continues to inspire and equip young leaders to drive meaningful change.
The JPI Youth Leadership Convention will feature renowned speakers, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at empowering participants to embrace innovation and take charge of their futures. The organization is committed to sharing knowledge, education, and global experiences to help young leaders in Nigeria and across Africa achieve their goals.
Jamie Pajoel International’s mission is to empower young leaders who are making positive impacts in their communities, workplaces, businesses, or social enterprises.

To achieve this, JPI promotes entrepreneurship and encourages youth to develop solutions to societal challenges while creating job opportunities across various sectors. Additionally, JPI fosters intergenerational solidarity and learning opportunities.
The organization’s networking opportunities will bring together young leaders from diverse sectors to connect with industry experts, explore future collaborations, and build partnerships and mentorships.
