IF NOT YOUTH, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

OUR THOUGHT. OUR COMMITMENT. OUR ACTIONABLE PLAN.

Young people are not merely leaders of tomorrow. They are builders of today.

Across the world, young people represent one of the most educated, connected, creative, and diverse generations in history. They are not waiting for the future—they are creating it.

At the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation (EOOF), we believe young people deserve the knowledge, skills, opportunities, mentorship, resources, and confidence to turn potential into impact.

Because when young people are empowered, they transform lives, strengthen families, create jobs, promote peace, and build sustainable communities.

🌱 AGRICULTURE IS MORE THAN FARMING

“Do I have to be a farmer to succeed in agriculture?”

Absolutely not.

Agriculture is an ecosystem of opportunities—from production and processing to technology, finance, logistics, marketing, research, innovation, packaging, and trade.

Agropreneurship is about more than growing food. It is about growing opportunities, businesses, livelihoods, and communities.

When young people actively participate in the agricultural value chain, we move closer to Zero Hunger, food security, poverty reduction, decent employment, and sustainable development.

🚀 FROM CELEBRATION TO ACTION

As part of our 2026 International Youth Day engagement, EOOF, in collaboration with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) through the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme, is engaging an aspiring and emerging agripreneurs from diverse cultural backgrounds at the Kwara State NYSC Orientation Camp, Kwara State Polytechnic, during Batch 'B' Stream II, 11–21 August 2026.

This is more than a celebration.

It is a platform for ideas, skills, innovation, collaboration, cultural exchange, and practical opportunities.

🌍 “DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, COMMON ASPIRATIONS.”

Our backgrounds, languages, cultures, experiences, and challenges may differ, but our aspirations are remarkably similar.

We all desire meaningful opportunities, dignified livelihoods, healthy lives, peaceful communities, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to society.

That is why we must move beyond talking about youth development to investing in young people and creating platforms where potential becomes productive capacity.

OUR CONVICTION AT EOOF

A young person with an idea needs opportunity.

A young person with talent needs a platform.

A young person with a dream needs mentorship.

A young person with skills needs access.

And a young person with purpose needs the courage and support to act.

Youth empowerment is not charity.

It is an investment in humanity’s future.

The future will not be built by wishing. It will be built by young people who are equipped, trusted, supported, and empowered to lead.

IF NOT YOUTH, WHO?

IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

The time to empower is now.
The time to create opportunities is now.
The time to turn potential into impact is now.

Together, let us raise a generation that will not merely inherit the world—but have the courage, competence, character, and compassion to improve it.

Empowering Young People for a Sustainable Future

Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation (EOOF) | International Youth Day 2026

Our backgrounds may differ. Our challenges may vary. Our cultures and experiences may not be the same.

But our aspirations are remarkably similar.

Every young person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, stay healthy, develop their potential, become self-reliant, earn a decent livelihood, and contribute meaningfully to society.

At the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation (EOOF), we are committed to empowering young people, strengthening communities, and transforming lives through practical opportunities that promote:

🌱 Zero Hunger & Agropreneurship — SDG 2
Promoting agriculture beyond farming and equipping young people to create value across the agricultural value chain.

💼 Poverty Reduction, Self-Reliance & Decent Work — SDGs 1 & 8
Building skills, entrepreneurship, job creation, and sustainable livelihoods that move young people from dependence to productivity.

❤️ Health & Healthy Lifestyles — SDG 3
Advocating for healthcare access, health education, wellness, and healthy lifestyles, with priority advocacy to prevent teenage pregnancy and protect young people's health, education, dignity, and future.

🕊️ Peacebuilding & Strong Communities — SDG 16
Equipping young people to promote peaceful coexistence, responsible leadership, inclusion, dialogue, and community development.

🤝 Partnerships for Impact — SDG 17
Working with communities, institutions, government, and development partners to create sustainable opportunities for young people.

OUR CONVICTION

A young person with skills needs opportunity.
A young person with an idea needs support.
A young person with purpose needs mentorship.
And every young person deserves the knowledge and confidence to make healthy and responsible choices.

Youth empowerment is not charity.

It is an investment in sustainable development.

Together, let us move:

From vulnerability to opportunity.
From dependence to self-reliance.
From unemployment to decent work.
From ideas to enterprises.
From unhealthy choices to healthy living.
From conflict to peace.

Today is more than a celebration—it is a testimony of purpose, people, and God's faithfulness.

Six years ago, the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation was not a building, an office, or even a registered organization. It was simply a burden in one heart—a conviction that ordinary people, empowered with purpose and opportunity, could transform lives and build stronger communities.

As we reflect on this remarkable journey, one lesson stands above the rest:

Great visions are never built by one person alone.

While the vision began with one person, it flourished because others believed in it, challenged it, strengthened it, and helped bring it to life.

There were moments when the Executive Founder believed he had the best answer. Yet the wisdom, fresh ideas, and sincere recommendations of our leaders often revealed a better way forward. Their insights sharpened our decisions, strengthened our programmes, and positioned the Foundation for an even greater impact.

They were never just supporters of the vision—they became builders of the vision.

To our co-founders, board of trustees, volunteers, government institutions, development partners, donors, and every member of our community, thank you for proving that lasting impact is built through shared purpose, selfless service, and collective commitment.

As we celebrate our 6th Anniversary and Leadership Summit under the theme,
"Building to Last Together: Strengthening Lives, Sustaining Impact, Securing the Future," may we all remember that purpose is not merely discovering why we exist; it is choosing to live that purpose every day through service to others.

Never underestimate your contribution. A listening ear can restore hope. A word of encouragement can awaken a dream. A helping hand or a simple act of compassion can change a life forever.

This anniversary is not our finish line—it is another starting line.

Together, let us continue building lives, strengthening communities, and securing a brighter future for generations to come.

Together We Build. Together We Thrive. Together We Last.

Happy 6th Anniversary to the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation.

To God alone be all the glory.

WORLD YOUTH SKILLS DAY 2026

Theme: Skills Build Futures. Purpose Transforms Nations.

Every generation is remembered not only for the challenges it inherits, but for the solutions it creates.

Today, as we commemorate World Youth Skills Day 2026, we are reminded that the greatest investment any nation can make is not in infrastructure alone, but in the skills, character, and potential of its young people.

Our Conviction at The Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation

Unemployment is not merely a shortage of jobs. It is often a shortage of relevant skills, mentorship, opportunity, and access.

That is why our commitment extends beyond celebration. It is a daily mission.

We are dedicated to equipping young people with the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence required for decent work, entrepreneurship, and lifelong impact.

How We Are Building the Future

1. Agropreneurship: Agriculture + Enterprise

We are redefining agriculture as a profitable, innovative, and technology-driven enterprise. Our training covers:

- Enterprise Development: Business planning, financial management, investment readiness, and market research
- Agricultural Value Chains: Crop production, livestock management, animal husbandry, and agribusiness
- Future-Ready Technologies: Digital agriculture, precision farming, smart irrigation, Artificial Intelligence, climate-smart agriculture, and green livelihoods

2. Human & Leadership Capacity

Beyond technical skills, we develop the whole person through:
Emotional intelligence, teamwork, communication, active listening, leadership, and problem-solving.
We nurture responsible citizens who become agents of peace, collaboration, and sustainable development.

3. Strategic Partnerships

We bridge the gap between learning and livelihood through collaboration with government institutions, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), successful agribusinesses, community leaders, and peacebuilding organizations such as Search for Common Ground.

Why This Matters

When a young person acquires the right skills, they do more than secure a job.
They create opportunities for others, strengthen families, transform communities, and advance national development.

At the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation, we do not celebrate World Youth Skills Day once a year.
We celebrate it every day by investing in people.

Because:
Every skill learned is a life transformed.
Every entrepreneur empowered is unemployment reduced.
Every young leader equipped is hope multiplied.

Let us build a future where every young person has not only the opportunity to dream, but the skills to make those dreams a reality.

Happy World Youth Skills Day!

HEALTH IS WEALTH

What if the greatest investment you could ever make is not in a bank account, business, or property—but in your health?

From June 3rd to 5th, 2026, the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation was honored to actively participate in a three-day health programme in collaboration with the University of Ilorin Students' Union and the Society for Family Health (SFH), Kwara State.

The programme, held at the University of Ilorin Permanent Site and College, was built around a powerful theme:

"Health is Wealth – The New Era of Health: Innovation,
Integration, Impact."

Over the three days, we witnessed something remarkable: young people becoming more informed, more empowered, and more intentional about their physical and mental well-being.

At the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation, we believe that good health is the foundation upon which successful lives, strong families, thriving communities, and meaningful futures are built.

This is why we are passionate about:

💙 Promoting healthy lifestyles

💙 Supporting mental and emotional well-being

💙 Bringing health awareness closer to young people

💙 Encouraging positive choices around nutrition, exercise, and personal safety

💙 Creating supportive spaces where young people can learn, grow, and thrive

💙 Mentoring future leaders who understand that wellness is true wealth

One of the most powerful lessons from this programme is that health is no longer just about hospitals and treatment.

It is about prevention.

It is about education.

It is about emotional wellness.

It is about community.

It is about creating environments where people can flourish.

When young people learn healthy habits today, they build healthier futures tomorrow.

When communities work together, health challenges become opportunities for transformation.

When we invest in wellness, we invest in possibility.

As we reflect on this impactful programme, we are reminded that every conversation, every health screening, every mentoring session, and every act of support has the potential to change a life.

Let us continue to build a culture where health is valued, wellness is prioritized, and every young person has the opportunity to become the healthiest version of themselves.

Because health is not just wealth.

Health is freedom.

Health is opportunity.

Health is potential.

Health is life.

We thank the University of Ilorin Students' Union, Society for Family Health (SFH), our staff, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and every participant who contributed to the success of this programme.

Together, we are creating healthier communities and brighter futures.

Valued. Heard. Prepared.

This is not just a slogan. It is our blueprint for the future.
Every year on May 16, the world pauses to celebrate the International Day of the Boy Child. Today, the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation shatters the outdated myth that silence equals strength. We declare that true strength lies in honor, and true power is found in kindness.

Our boys are facing a quiet crisis. Trapped under the weight of societal pressure, many are drifting into drug abuse, crime, and despair. But we refuse to watch from the sidelines.

The Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation is stepping into the gap by building emotional sanctuaries, launching mentorship networks, and deploying substance abuse prevention programs to ensure every boy feels seen, safe, and supported.

For too long, attention has leaned heavily toward the girl child, and the boy child has been neglected. That imbalance weakens the whole society. It is like baking half a cake and expecting a full meal. Many of the girls we celebrate today will marry the boys we ignored yesterday. Investing in both boys and girls creates stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger nation.

Educating and training the boy child is not optional. It is a national urgency. When we invest in our boys, we unlock their potential and empower their dreams. We close the pathways to crime and build foundations for economic prosperity. By nurturing them today, we shape the visionary and empathetic leaders who will build our nation tomorrow.

The investment is significant, and the cultural resistance is real, but the cost of neglect is far greater.

Join the movement this May 16 and beyond.
Mentor, protect, and empower our boys. Champion an initiative, support the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation, or simply tell a young boy that his voice matters. Together, let us raise a generation of men rooted in honour, guided by kindness, and prepared to lead.

The Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation congratulates Batch A Stream 2 NYSC Corps Members who actively participated in the Agropreneurship Training and Agro-allied Livestock Production & Animal Husbandry Class of 2026 as your in-camp activities come to an end today.

Your time, dedication, willingness to learn, teamwork, and commitment to excellence have not only made a lasting impact on your cohort but have also set you apart for greater opportunities ahead. These qualities create doors even when none seem visible.

A word to carry forward: Knowledge that isn’t applied is wasted. In livestock production, never work in isolation. Surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow, uphold high standards, and bring out the best in you.

The Economic Power of Self-Formulation

Feed accounts for 70–80% of total production costs. As an agropreneur, formulating your own feed is a strategic financial move for three reasons:

1. Massive Cost Savings
By cutting out branding, packaging, and marketing costs, you can save 30–60% on feed expenses. That’s money reinvested directly into your business.

2. Quality Control & Productivity
Commercial feeds often use fillers to protect profit margins. When you mix your own feed, you control the quality. Better ingredients improve your Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), meaning your livestock convert feed to meat or eggs faster and spend less time in the pen.

3. Market Resilience
Commercial feed prices rise with inflation. Self-formulation lets you buy ingredients like maize in bulk during harvest when prices are low. You can also incorporate local by-products to reduce dependence on volatile markets.

Formulating your own feed isn’t just farming—it’s business engineering. It gives you independence, reduces your biggest expense, and ensures your livestock get exactly what they need to thrive.

Remember: Healthy livestock is profitable livestock, and a self-reliant farmer is a successful agropreneur. If you aren’t managing your feed, you aren’t managing your profits.

Start small, test your batches, keep records, and watch your margins grow. Happy farming!

The Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation is proud of you. We believe in your potential and are rooting for your success. Feel free to reach out anytime you need guidance, resources, or support.

May your post-camp and PPA activities be prosperous and fruitful, positioning you for growth in agriculture and beyond.

The barriers of yesterday have become the opportunities of today. At the Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation, we see youth not only as the leaders of tomorrow but as the economic engine of today.

We are moving beyond inspiration to deliver a practical blueprint for self-sufficiency and national growth. This training is our response to the global call for sustainable development and youth empowerment, directly aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

In partnership with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) through the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Development (SAED) Programme, we are delivering transformative training for Batch A, Stream 2 Corps Members from April 30 to May 8, 2026, at the NYSC Orientation Camp, Kwara State Polytechnic.

Our goal is to raise a new generation of elite Agropreneurs by merging livestock science with high-level financial intelligence.

Our “Agro-Allied Excellence” Curriculum is built on six SDG-driven pillars:

Zero Hunger – SDG 2: Equipping youth with livestock production and animal husbandry skills to tackle food insecurity.
Financial Literacy and Decent Work – SDG 1 & 8: Teaching the Wealth Cycle: Make Money through value chain mastery, Manage Money through budgeting and efficiency, Multiply Money through smart investments and AI-driven precision.
Structural Foundation and Grant Readiness: Guiding Corps Members through Corporate Affairs Commission registration to access grants and institutional support.
AI-Driven Learning and Quality Education – SDG 4: Integrating artificial intelligence and precision livestock farming into vocational training for a tech-driven market.
Climate-Smart Resilience – SDG 13: Transitioning youth to climate-smart livestock production through adaptation, emission reduction, and diversified strategies.
Equality and Well-being – SDG 3 & 5: Promoting economic inclusion and resilience for all.

We are not just teaching youth to farm. We are teaching them to build sustainable empires. Agriculture is now a sophisticated pathway to wealth, self-sufficiency, and national pride. At Ezekiel O. Oluwaseun Foundation, competence fuels growth, and your business fuels positive change.
