The 2024 cohort will benefit from a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip them with essential leadership skills, critical thinking abilities, and a deep understanding of broader socioeconomic trends. 

Through workshops, mentorship sessions, and real-world projects, these young leaders will be prepared to tackle pressing challenges and create lasting change within their communities.

"We are incredibly grateful to KingMakers for their generous support," said Lara Rabiu, Founder and CEO of The Afara Initiative. "This partnership enables us to scale our impact and reach more young leaders than ever before. 

With KingMakers' backing, we are confident that the 2024 cohort will achieve great success and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s development."
