The Gender Education, Engagement, Empowerment, and Entrepreneurship Programme (G4EP) has unveiled a new training initiative for young girls across Nigeria, describing it as a step toward empowering the girl-child through education, entrepreneurship, and digital innovation.
According to the organisers, the initiative falls under its flagship project called Renewed Hope for Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment, and aligns with the Federal Government’s renewed hope agenda.
“By providing access to in-demand creative and digital skills, the programme is designed to foster inclusion and create real opportunities for girls to thrive in today’s tech-driven world, ensuring that no one is left behind,” the statement read.
The organisers explained that the training will focus on photography, web design, cinematography, and graphic design, which they described as four powerful areas in today’s creative and digital economy.
“By equipping young girls with these in-demand skills, G4EP seeks not only to bridge the gender gap in technology and media but also to empower participants to become creators, innovators, and leaders in their chosen fields,” the organisers added.
They noted that digital literacy and creativity now open doors to limitless opportunities. “Whether through photography that tells compelling stories, websites that shape businesses, graphics that communicate powerful messages, or films that inspire, young people are rewriting narratives and shaping society. Unfortunately, many girls are often left behind due to a lack of access, mentorship, or financial support.”
Highlighting the accessibility of the programme, the organisers stressed that registration and training are completely free of charge. “This ensures that every girl, regardless of financial background, has equal access to world-class training and mentorship. With the free training commencing on September 8th, 2025, G4EP has removed barriers that often limit the girl child. This is the true spirit of Renewed Hope, giving every girl a fair chance to learn, grow, and shine,” they said.
Chairman of G4EP, Judith Ogbara, described the Renewed Hope for Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment (RISE) project as one focused on inclusion, empowerment, and creating pathways for the girl child to rise above limitations. She maintained that through the training, the programme is preparing girls to compete globally in technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
“With this initiative, G4EP continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to the empowerment of girls in Nigeria. By equipping them with creative and digital skills, the program is shaping a new generation of storytellers, innovators, and entrepreneurs who will leave their mark on the world,” Ogbara stated.
She added that interested applicants can register through the official G4EP training portal. Selected participants, she said, will receive mentorship, practical sessions, and access to industry-standard resources throughout the programme.
