Condolence Message to the Yilwatda's Family

On behalf of the entire COA Media family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to our dear National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, and to the entire Yilwatda family on the passing of your beloved mother, Mama Lydia Yilwatda.

Mama Lydia was more than a mother; she was a pillar of strength, a vessel of wisdom and a woman whose faith in God and humanity shone through in every aspect of her life. Her selfless devotion to her family, community and to the values of love, integrity and service remain an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire generations. Her prayers, sacrifices, and nurturing spirit were not only a blessing to her immediate family but to everyone who was privileged to encounter her.

While we grieve this irreparable loss, we also celebrate Mama Lydia’s remarkable life – a life well-lived in service to God and others. Her legacy is evident in the exemplary character and outstanding leadership of her children, most especially You Prof, whose dedication to service reflects the virtues Mama instilled.

We pray that the Almighty God will grant you, the entire family, and all who mourn, the fortitude to bear this loss. May He comfort you with His boundless love and may Mama Lydia’s soul find eternal rest in His heavenly kingdom.

Please accept this message as a token of our deepest sympathy and solidarity with you in this time of grief.

Nigeria Entrepreneurship and Investment Summit & Awards (NEISA) 2025

Theme: Entrepreneurship for National Renewal: Unlocking Inclusive Growth in an Era of Tough Choices

Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment in its economic journey. The removal of fuel subsidies, liberalization of the foreign exchange market, and a series of fiscal and monetary reforms reflect a bold restructuring agenda aimed at long-term economic sustainability. These reforms, while necessary, have exacted significant short-term costs—rising inflation, energy insecurity, heightened operational risks, and diminishing consumer purchasing power.

Amid this environment of complexity and constraint, entrepreneurship has emerged as a resilient and rising force. Across the nation—particularly among youth—a new wave of innovation, ambition, and resilience is taking root. It is this enterprising spirit that now holds the key to Nigeria’s national renewal.

The Nigeria Entrepreneurship and Investment Summit & Awards (NEISA) offers a timely and strategic platform to convene the country’s most dynamic minds—grassroots innovators, development leaders, global investors, and policymakers—to co-create actionable strategies that power inclusive growth, stimulate local production, attract investment, and unlock job creation in this critical era.

NEISA is not merely a gathering; it is a rallying cry—a bold call to shift from policy to productivity, from adversity to innovation, and from dependency to enterprise-driven sovereignty.

Theme Rationale
Entrepreneurship for National Renewal: Unlocking Inclusive Growth in an Era of Tough Choices reflects both the urgency and opportunity of our time. It reframes entrepreneurship not as a coping mechanism but as a national strategy—capable of transforming adversity into advancement, and reform into resilience.

Entrepreneurship for National Renewal:
With over 39 million MSMEs contributing nearly 50% of GDP and employing over 80% of Nigeria’s labor force, entrepreneurship has consistently proven to be the engine of real, grassroots-driven growth. In a nation wrestling with declining oil revenues, currency volatility, and external shocks, entrepreneurs represent Nigeria’s strongest bet for diversifying the economy, building new industries, and driving non-oil productivity.

Unlocking Inclusive Growth;
Nigeria’s next phase of transformation must be inclusive by design. Over 60% of the population is under 25, and rural communities, women, and vulnerable populations have borne the brunt of recent policy shocks. NEISA shines a spotlight on entrepreneurship as a bridge—linking innovation with inclusion, empowering the marginalized, and ensuring that development leaves no one behind.

In an Era of Tough Choices;
Fuel subsidy removal. Exchange rate liberalization. Tightened fiscal policies. These represent unavoidable but painful steps toward long-term reform. However, within these tough choices lies a golden window—a moment to drive innovation, reallocate resources, and reposition the private sector as the engine of national renewal. NEISA challenges leaders to transform these shocks into springboards for inclusive, enterprise-led prosperity.

Why It Matters Now;
With unemployment exceeding 33%, and youth unemployment and underemployment at troubling highs, Nigeria faces a demographic and economic inflection point. Inflation has eroded real wages and enterprise margins, and MSMEs continue to suffer from limited access to capital—receiving less than 5% of total credit.

But within these challenges lie historic opportunities—to rebuild smarter, locally, and sustainably.

NEISA is a strategic response to this defining moment—aligned with national development goals, bridging gaps between innovation and investment, and fostering bold new thinking to shape a resilient, inclusive economic future.

Summit Objectives;
* Position entrepreneurship as a national strategy for economic recovery, inclusion, and long-term resilience.

* Connect high-potential entrepreneurs with investors, development partners, and policy shapers.

* Influence policy frameworks that enable MSME growth, job creation, and industrialization.

* Celebrate outstanding enterprise champions via the NEISA Awards, showcasing scalable models of success.

* Forge strategic partnerships across public, private, and civil society sectors to catalyze national economic renewal.

Key Focus Areas;
* Access to Finance: De-risking capital, innovative lending models, investor readiness for MSMEs.

* Business Education & Leadership: Financial literacy, operational excellence, and adaptive leadership.

* Policy & Governance: Startup-friendly regulations and institutional support for small businesses.

* Digital & Green Economy: Driving innovation through technology and environmentally sustainable models.

* Investment Mobilization: Unlocking local and foreign capital into priority sectors—agriculture, tech, manufacturing, and renewables.

* Ecosystem Strengthening: Clusters, mentorship, accelerators, incubators, and collaborative platforms.

Summit Format & Activities;
NEISA 2025 offers a multi-dimensional experience combining high-impact dialogue, capacity building, recognition, and real-time networking:

* Keynote Addresses: Visionary leaders and entrepreneurs share future-shaping insights.

* Panel Discussions: Topical debates with sector experts, founders, and investors.

* Workshops & Clinics: Skills development in pitching, digital tools, business modeling.

* Pitch Competitions: Entrepreneurs pitch for seed capital and accelerator support.

* Exhibitions: Youth-led and impact-focused businesses showcase innovations.

* Networking Forums: Curated spaces for investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to connect.

* NEISA Awards Gala: Celebrating champions of enterprise excellence and innovation.

Expected Outcomes;
* Clearer policy and investment pathways for enterprise and MSME development.

* Improved access to funding through investor matchmaking and de-risked capital flows.

* Capacity elevation and visibility for high-impact entrepreneurs.

* Strengthened multisectoral collaboration to power inclusive economic renewal.

* Formation of a national enterprise network to sustain momentum beyond the summit.

Call to Action;
The future of Nigeria will not be determined in policy chambers alone, but in markets, farms, studios, workshops, factories, and digital labs across the nation. NEISA 2025 invites entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem builders to take their place in this national movement—building an economy that is powered by its people.

Let us choose to invest in solutions, scale what works, and turn tough times into transformative opportunities.

Let us build a bold future. Together.
