Golearn Mobilises 2,500 Young People, Takes Financial Education to 20,000 Across Three Countries

Golearn, a financial education and empowerment organization, recently hosted its fourth Lagos Finance Conference, hosting between 2,000 and 2,500 participants. This event further highlights the organization's growing reach in the financial education sector, having already trained over 4,000 individuals and built a community of approximately 20,000 members through Campus Finance Clubs in 51 Nigerian universities, Ghanaian institutions, and American universities.

High-profile speakers, including Dr. Akin Akinpelu, Golearn founder Olubori Paul, Rosemond Phil Othiwa and Solomon Ayodele, shared their insights on financial literacy, business, and personal development.

The conference also featured sessions aimed at transforming inspiration into action, such as the Build Panel and the Grow Panel. These panels addressed the foundations for building sustainable careers and businesses, as well as strategies for personal and professional growth. Participants were provided with various pathways for continued development, including scholarships, sponsorships, and mentorship opportunities.

Golearn's mission is to help people learn, make, manage, and multiply money, with a focus on extending financial education beyond one-off conferences to a continuous learning community. The organization's initiatives, such as GoKids, GoMums, and the NextGen Youth Entrepreneurship Fellowship, target different stages of people's financial journeys, from children and mothers to young professionals and entrepreneurs.

With over 4,000 people upskilled, a community nearing 20,000 members, and Campus Finance Clubs operating in 51 higher institutions across three countries, Golearn is working towards making financial literacy a practical tool for economic empowerment.
