Why the mentorship programme matters

Industry analysts say mentorship programmes have become increasingly important as young entrepreneurs and professionals seek guidance, access to networks, and practical career support in a challenging economic climate.
Development experts also note that mentorship initiatives targeting women and underserved communities can help close gaps in leadership representation and economic participation.
Mrs Okuyelu’s inclusion in the programme is expected to bring grassroots development experience into conversations around leadership, enterprise growth, and social impact.
Focus on women, youth empowerment
