ALX, a leading tech career accelerator shaping the future of African talent, has hosted a Parents Forum in Lagos to deepen engagement and trust around its ALX Pathway Programme, a transformative initiative designed to connect young Nigerians to global educational and professional opportunities.
The forum provided a platform for ALX to present the programme’s unique offerings, which include mentorship, access to professional networks, and personalized guidance for applications to top-tier partner universities. Parents had the opportunity to interact directly with ALX representatives, current participants, and a representative from the African Leadership University (ALU), one of the programme’s prestigious partners.
Country general manager for ALX in Nigeria, Ruby Igwe, at the event, said, “The ALX Pathway Programme is designed to bridge the gap between young Africans’ aspirations and global opportunities. By equipping participants with critical resources and networks, we aim to empower the next generation of leaders who will shape Africa’s future on the global stage. Through this forum, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to empowering the next generation of global leaders from Africa.”
Country growth manager for ALX Nigeria, Seun Babajide-Duroshola, highlighted the importance of parental involvement, adding that, “Parents are essential partners in their children’s journeys. This forum allowed us to engage with them directly, address their questions, and showcase how ALX Pathway provides transformative opportunities. Together, we are building a strong foundation of support for participants as they embark on this life-changing journey.”
The forum also included an open Q&A session, allowing parents and media representatives to gain clarity on the programme’s application process, engagement structure, and overall impact. This transparent approach reinforced ALX’s commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for Africa’s youth while fostering trust among stakeholders.
Through initiatives like the ALX Pathway Programme, the organisation continues to demonstrate its dedication to nurturing Africa’s young talent and fostering pathways to success on the global stage.
