The 10th edition of the Joan Agha Foundation (JAF) Entrepreneurship Lecture for Women and Youths was held on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos. It was truly a special milestone. This edition marked ten years of dedicated support for both youth and women across Nigeria.

What started in 2015 as a small platform to empower youths and women has, by the grace of God, grown into one of the most impactful gatherings in the country.

This year’s theme, “Entrepreneurship in the Face of Artificial Intelligence,” was very relevant. It encouraged everyone present to think deeply about his or her role and opportunities in today’s rapidly changing world.

We had inspiring speakers, experienced panelists, a special health-focused address, and a very engaging panel discussion. A total of 136 participants were in attendance.

To crown the day, 12 women and youths received business grants in support of their ventures. We thank God for making this possible and for helping us stay true to our mission.

We are indeed grateful for the success of this 10th edition and we look forward to even greater impact in the years to come, by the grace of God.

We conclude by extending our heartfelt appreciation to our supporters and partners, fondly known as the Ambassadors of Hope, for their generous donations and unwavering support to the Foundation.
