\u201cWe have to make it happen\u201d \u2013 this is the essence of optimism in Nigeria. The diverse and multicultural country has a dynamic economy, a creative entrepreneurial spirit, and a growing start-up scene in the digital sector at its disposal. To top it off, Nigeria is young \u2013 very young: Two-thirds of the roughly 190 million residents in Africa\u2019s most-populous country are youths. Motivated and ambitious, they want to carve their own path and move the country forward. But around half of them have no income. The country produces very few goods, meaning there is little sustainable value creation and hardly any opportunities for young people.
