At 9jafoodfiesta, we believe empowerment is not a luxury — it’s a right.
Every young person, woman, or underserved Nigerian deserves the opportunity to rise. That’s why we set a bold goal: To train 2,000 people in every state of Nigeria.
Not 200. Not 500.
2,000. Per state.
Why? Because that’s the scale of the problem we’re trying to solve.
Unemployment. Frustration. A widening skills gap. A generation with dreams but no tools.
We Saw the Problem Up Close
We saw graduates who couldn’t afford ₦5,000 for a course.
Mothers who learned sewing on YouTube but never had guidance.
Boys who had smartphones but didn’t know they could build websites or design flyers with them.
Girls who were passionate about food but never saw a commercial kitchen. So we stepped in.
Why 2,000 Per State?
Because real impact is not measured in big events — it’s in consistent access.
Training 2,000 people per state means:
- We don’t leave anyone behind
- Communities start seeing change from within
- It becomes a movement, not just a workshop
If even 10% of them use what they learn to create businesses or teach others, the ripple effect is massive.
How We’re Doing It (And How You Can Join)
We created a system that meets people where they are — on their phones, in their towns, at their pace.
✅ Online registration portal
✅ WhatsApp group for each state
✅ Volunteers and local champions
✅ Trainers who care
And most importantly:
💯 It’s free.
“We’re not here to show off what we can do,” says the Team Lead.
“We’re here to show what you can do — if given a chance.”
3 States Down, 33 To Go
We’ve already been to Katsina, Kano, and Abuja, training thousands.
We’ve received endorsements from local leaders, visited royal palaces, and built communities of change-makers.
But we’re not done.
We’re on a mission to empower over 74,000 Nigerians, one state at a time.
