AMAC/Bwari 2027: Hon. Sarah Ivie Adidi, Embodiment Of Innovative Leadership

Hon. Sarah Ivie Adidi is a highly skilled development economist and youth advocate whose career has been defined by service, innovation, and a deep commitment to empowering the next generation.

She earned her B.A. in Economics from Boston College, an M.A. in International Political Economy from King’s College London, and later obtained a post-graduate certification in Public Policy Analysis from the London School of Economics. This strong academic foundation has equipped her with global perspectives and practical policy knowledge relevant to addressing Nigeria’s development challenges.

Following her education, Ivie began working with a leading development finance institution where she currently serves as a Programme Coordinator in the Statistics Department. In this role, she operates at the intersection of data, policy, and development impact, helping to shape programmes that translate economic insights into tangible improvements for communities. Her work reflects a strong belief that behind every statistic lies a human story; a struggling family, a young graduate seeking opportunity, or a community in need of development.

Beyond her professional career, Ivie has consistently demonstrated a deep passion for the advancement of African women and youth. She currently serves as the Director of Technical Services of the Youth in Parliament Forum (YIPF), where she leads initiatives aimed at increasing youth participation in governance and equipping young Nigerians with relevant skills for the modern economy.

Among the key programmes she drives are the Take Action Campaign, which mobilizes and educates young people on civic engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections, and the Spark Bootcamp, a training platform that provides certified instruction in emerging sectors such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data protection. Through these initiatives, Ivie has helped many young Nigerians build valuable digital skills and develop a stronger voice in democratic processes.

Her commitment to mentorship further reflects her dedication to youth development. Since 2022, Ivie has mentored student innovators under the Fuel Africa/Futurize healthcare innovation programme, which supports university students across Africa in designing solutions to the continent’s healthcare challenges. She also privately mentors cohorts of young women in Nigeria and across Africa, helping them develop leadership confidence and professional direction.
