The organizers of the Face of African Concept have officially unveiled the 100 Most Industrious Youths in Africa, recognizing young individuals making remarkable strides in their respective fields. Originally scheduled to be held physically in Abuja, Nigeria, the event will now take place online on Saturday, March 22, 2025, due to the ongoing Muslim fasting and Lent season.
In a statement released on Saturday, Amb. Abraham Lawal, the Director of Programs and Events, emphasized that this year’s edition is themed “Leadership for the Next Generation.” He encouraged awardees to seize this opportunity to amplify their impact and further their commitment to humanitarian service.
Amb. Lawal also clarified that the event will be strictly virtual, meaning there will be no physical gathering. However, all awardees will receive their awards accordingly through designated channels.
This marks the second edition of the Most Industrious Youths in Africa recognition, an initiative dedicated to celebrating young Africans excelling in various sectors. Lawal has remained committed to supporting and encouraging African youths who demonstrate excellence, leadership, and dedication in their endeavors.
Among the distinguished awardees for this year are:
Hon. Stephen Doffoe Forson (Ghana), Gariba Murtala Labaran (Ghana), Akande Dahunsi Gideon (Nigeria), Azeezah Hashim and several others.
The Face of Fashion Africa initiative continues to shine a spotlight on industrious young Africans, reinforcing the importance of leadership and positive influence in shaping the continent’s future.
