The Convener of She Support Her Rise, Suratu Nagada-Pamah, has unveiled a mentorship-driven initiative under the Empower the Next programme aimed at educating youths between the ages of 15 and 25 on money management, entrepreneurship, and the importance of formal education.
Nagada-Pamah during her remark at the mentorship summit held in Abuja , shared her personal struggles with financial literacy, revealing how the absence of proper mentorship in her early years led to repeated business failures.
She noted that the theme of the summit: Empowering the Next Chapter: Building Wealth, Skills and Vision aims to ensure that the younger generation does not repeat the financial mistakes of their predecessors.
According to her , through the mentorship and practical financial management, the young people can discover their potential early and build a more financially literate and self-reliant generation.
She emphasized the continued relevance of education, noting that while many people succeed without formal degrees, they often rely on educated professionals to manage their finances.
She stressed that the younger generation faces new distractions—chiefly social media—and is often bombarded with unfiltered content that shapes their perception of success and money.
