Briefing newsmen on the event, scheduled for 9 a.m. on November 30, 2024, at the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, the President of the foundation, Dr. Elvis Abuyere, noted that the event, nurtured by his 4-year-old foundation, aims at empowering young people and making them self-reliant.

The theme for this year’s event is “Cultivating Young People for Tomorrow’s Economy.”

According to Abuyere, their mission is to give a sense of belonging to young Nigerians and encourage them to depend less on white-collar jobs and embrace entrepreneurship.

He noted that the event, Meet the CEOs 4.0, would serve as an opportunity to learn from a pool of successful chief executives.

He hinted that the wealth of a nation does not largely depend on money in circulation, but on production.

“If you can succeed in business in Nigeria, you can succeed anywhere in the world. The government should provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in Nigeria.

“We are cultivating young Nigerians to believe in themselves. Participation will be free. It is part of our corporate social responsibility. We believe in giving knowledge to society.

“Our keynote speaker is Dr. Cosmas Maduka. We are not charging for it. The future of Africa is entrepreneurship. We want young Nigerians to contribute to Nigeria’s economy, just the way it is done in China, where young people contribute to building the Chinese economy.

“If young people have a sense of direction, they won’t get involved in crime. An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. The seminar is open to all ages; however, our primary target is young Nigerians. Youth are the future of Nigeria.”

Abuyere was flanked by the Corporate Services Manager of Skyewise Group, Ifeoma Akpotue, and trustee of Skyewise Foundation, Oluwole Senkoya.
