In a bold move to promote experiential learning and practical business skills in Nigeria, two reputable consulting firms—Allied Bond Consulting and PIFS Conferences—are set to host a high-level national workshop aimed at repositioning entrepreneurship education as a driver of innovation, employment, and sustainable economic growth.
The event, themed “Creating a New Model for Dynamic Growth through Entrepreneurial Education,” is scheduled to take place on August 13–14, 2025, at the NUC Auditorium, Central Business District, Abuja.
Organisers say the initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to revamp Nigeria’s educational sector and tackle youth unemployment through practical, skill-based learning.
In a media chat, Sir T. Willie Tawo, Managing Consultant of Allied Bond Consulting and Programme Coordinator for the PIFS Conferences, Seminars, and Workshops stable of Allied Bond Consulting, emphasized the importance of the event in transforming Nigeria’s development trajectory.
“This workshop is part of a broader national dialogue aimed at positioning entrepreneurial education as a catalyst for national development, job creation, and economic self-reliance,” Tawo said.
The event will feature key stakeholders from the Federal Government, including the Honourable Ministers of Education, Finance and Economy, and Budget and Economic Planning, who will serve as Special Guests of Honour.
Also expected are regulatory authorities in tertiary education, who will present papers on “Regulating for the Enhancement of Entrepreneurial Education” in universities, technical institutions, and colleges of education.
Organisers believe that reforming the traditional education system with a stronger focus on entrepreneurship will address long-standing economic challenges and help foster a generation of innovators and job creators.
