The U.S. Consulate General, Lagos, introduced the dynamic youth-based Carrington Youth Fellowship Initiative (CYFI) in 2011.

Given that young people between the ages of 15 and 35 make up over 60% of the population of Nigeria and account for a sizeable share of the unemployed, youth unemployment is a serious concern for the nation. University students make up the majority of this population. They offer their distinctive perspectives to drive innovation and handle business concerns, but they are constrained by resources, knowledge, and a supportive environment.

Mission


to provide Tertiary Institution students with training in fundamental business management skills and to link them with mentors for the growth, advice, and scalability of their businesses.
