NGM Celebrates Decade of Impact, Unveils Conference 5.0 with Discounts, Youth Competitions

The Nasir Giwa Mentorship Platform (NGM) has announced plans for its highly anticipated Conference 5.0, as the platform marks 10 years of mentorship, leadership development, and youth empowerment.

The milestone event, scheduled as part of activities to commemorate the organisation’s decade-long impact, is expected to bring together students, young professionals, mentors, and thought leaders for conversations centred on growth, innovation, and leadership.

Over the years, NGM has built a reputation for fostering a vibrant community of young people through structured mentorship programmes and impactful engagements focused on faith, career development, and personal growth. Its flagship conference series has remained a key platform for inspiring participants and equipping them with tools for personal and professional advancement.

The upcoming Conference 5.0, themed “Building the Future: The Urgency of Now,” is set to continue that tradition, with organisers promising a transformative experience aimed at shaping perspectives and empowering the next generation of leaders.

As part of efforts to encourage wider participation, the organisers have introduced a 25 per cent Early Bird discount for a limited period. Students can register at a reduced fee of ₦7,500, while graduates and professionals will pay ₦11,250, a move designed to make the conference more accessible.

In addition to the main event, NGM has unveiled a series of youth-focused competitions, including an SME Pitch Competition, the NGM × Dr. Kola Adesina “Dare Nigeria Challenge,” as well as Essay and Case Study competitions. These initiatives, according to the organisers, are aimed at promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and critical thinking among young Nigerians.

Speaking on the significance of the conference, the Grand Mentor, Nasir Giwa, said, “the NGM Conference is more than an event, it is a transformational experience that has served as a turning point for many young people over the years. It remains a space where ideas are born, clarity is gained, and meaningful connections are formed.”

He added that the 10th anniversary celebration underscores the platform’s continued commitment to building a community of purpose-driven youths equipped to make meaningful contributions to society.

NGM has therefore called on students, young professionals, and individuals passionate about leadership and growth to take advantage of the Early Bird offer and participate in Conference 5.0, as it celebrates a decade of impact and looks ahead to the future.
