Leading for Impact
UYLP 2026
The Global Leadership Summit
Executive Summary
Across Nigeria, many young people, entrepreneurs, artisans, and emerging community leaders possess the passion and ideas to drive positive change but lack access to leadership training, mentorship, funding, and platforms that can help them translate potential into impact.
This leadership gap continues to limit innovation, employability, and sustainable community development.
UYLP26: The Global Leadership Summit is a world-class leadership conference designed to address this gap by equipping, inspiring, and empowering the next generation of leaders.
Building on the success of the 2025 edition, we are scaling our reach and outcomes to 500+ participants. We are also introducing a ₦500,000 Leadership Grant, providing ₦100,000 each to five outstanding participants.
