About LEAP Africa Youth Leadership Programme
LEAP Africa Youth Leadership Programme is a 5-month leadership program for young Nigerian undergraduates aged 18 to 30 years old, with the goal of equipping and empowering them to become transformative leaders and active citizens who will drive sustainable development in their communities.
As Nigerian youths took charge of the protest to advocate for the Nigeria they want, the Youth Leadership Development Programme (YLDP) was born out of their ability to use their agency and power to effect positive change.
