Global trading broker Hantec Markets, in partnership with Investonaire Academy, today launched the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Youth’s flagship Financial Literacy and Investment Programme — a national initiative designed to equip young Nigerians with essential money-management skills, investment knowledge and digital competencies for sustainable wealth creation.
Financial Literacy & Investment Programme at Spotlight
- A free, government-backed programme targeting over 100,000 young Nigerians annually with accessible financial education.
- Covers budgeting, saving, responsible borrowing, investing and income-building strategies tailored to Nigeria’s economic realities.
- Delivered through a modern Learning Management System (LMS) enabling interactive lessons, assessments, and progress tracking.
- Participants who demonstrate competency gain pathways to funding, trading evaluations, and entrepreneurial support, enabling real economic impact.
- Driven by the Ministry of Youth, Investonaire Academy, and Hantec Markets, bringing together government scale and private-sector expertise to build long-term financial capability.
The programme aims to empower individuals across Nigeria by delivering practical training, assessments and mentorship that translate learning into lasting economic opportunities. Investonaire Academy, in partnership with Hantec, will provide training and evaluation support, and — importantly — will help match acquired skills with access to capital so that young people can build sustainable income streams for themselves and their families.
This collaboration represents a meaningful widening of Hantec Markets’ scope on a diplomatic level. Built on three decades of international markets experience, Hantec is leveraging its global capability to support a national effort to raise financial capability and entrepreneurship among youth across Nigeria.
Hantec Markets is a global provider of leveraged trading across currencies, bullion, equities and commodities — delivering fast and reliable market access, and institutional-grade liquidity.
“Strengthening financial literacy is fundamental to long-term economic development,” said Mike Fowope, Managing Director at Hantec Africa Limited.
“By combining rigorous training, practical evaluation and access to capital, this programme fortifies Nigeria’s financial-literacy acumen and creates pathways for young people to contribute meaningfully to their communities. Hantec Markets is proud to support this step change in youth empowerment.”
Meanwhile the team at Investonaire Academy firmly believes that this allegiance is the beginning of a much-needed progressive action for the oncoming generation of youth in Nigeria.
“Investonaire, with Hantec Markets and the Ministry, is delivering scalable financial education that equips Nigerian youth with practical skills and clear pathways to financial capability, creating long-term community impact.”, says Investonaire AcademyCOO, Sebastien Sicre.
