LAPO Microfinance Bank has marked International Youth Day 2025 with a youth empowerment initiative at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The bank hosted financial literacy sessions, entrepreneurial challenges and interactive games designed to equip corps members with practical money management and business development skills.

“At LAPO Microfinance Bank, youth empowerment is not just a corporate social responsibility; it is a strategic investment in the nation’s future. The enthusiasm, innovation, and resilience of Nigerian youths inspire our drive to provide them with financial knowledge and opportunities that can translate into sustainable livelihoods,” he said.
Earlier this month, the bank supported the University of Lagos Mass Communication Students’ Association (MCSA) Week, where it sponsored a Financial Literacy Day and the “Pitch Your Biz” competition. The top three winners received ₦150,000, ₦100,000 and ₦75,000 respectively.
Through such initiatives, LAPO Microfinance Bank says it is reinforcing its role as a driver of financial inclusion and youth development, helping young Nigerians build the skills to thrive in a competitive economy.
