The Teens Awareness Initiative (T-TAI) says its programmes reached over 30,000 children and young people across Nigeria in 2025, with major gains recorded in education access, digital learning, skills development, climate action, and youth participation.
The youth-focused education and development nonprofit disclosed that the impact was achieved during its sixth year of operation, describing 2025 as a landmark period that strengthened learning opportunities and future-ready skills for adolescents and youth across different communities. According to the organisation, its work during the year focused on practical education delivery, inclusion, and data-driven programmes aimed at addressing gaps in Nigeria’s education system.
A major highlight of the year was T-TAI’s role in strengthening digital learning through a partnership with and the . The organisation carried out statewide monitoring of the Nigeria Learning Passport (NLP), Nigeria’s flagship digital learning platform, using a mixed-methods approach that included school visits, classroom observations, interviews with stakeholders, and analysis of platform data.
T-TAI reported that the intervention led to a sharp increase in learner enrolment on the NLP platform in Osun State, rising from 662 learners to over 50,000 learners, which it described as a national record. To support long-term use of the platform, the organisation also trained 500 teachers in digital literacy and facilitated the distribution of 500 internet routers to improve school connectivity across the state.
Beyond basic education, T-TAI said it expanded its focus on youth employability and innovation by delivering digital and artificial intelligence skills training. Through the Digital Skills and Generative AI Campaign, more than 10,000 young people were trained in emerging technologies, problem-solving, and digital productivity. The organisation said the programme was designed to help young people transition from learning to work by equipping them with relevant skills.
The group also implemented the Passport to Earning Programme, which exposed participants to opportunities in digital income generation, entrepreneurship, and skills-based livelihoods, providing guidance on how young people can build sustainable income pathways using technology.
In the area of climate action and civic engagement, T-TAI said it integrated climate literacy into its youth programmes. Through the YOMA Climate Action initiative, over 300 youth participants led environmental activities such as tree planting, waste recycling, and community clean-up exercises. These activities reached more than 15,000 people across Osun State, while over 15,000 climate actions were logged on the YOMA platform.
T-TAI also convened a UN Youth Lead Dialogue, which it said created space for young people to contribute to discussions on governance, education, mental health, innovation, and social inclusion at both national and global levels.
In 2025, the organisation said inclusion remained central to its work, with deliberate focus on girls, young people with disabilities, and youth from low-income communities. It noted that these efforts supported progress toward SDG 4, SDG 5, SDG 10, and SDG 17.
The organisation further reported that it expanded its research and advocacy work by producing policy-focused studies on education inequality and adolescent wellbeing, with findings presented at platforms including PAARRUAN, CESDEV, the Africa Social Impact Summit, and the UNICEF Annual Steering Committee.
Supported by its leadership team, board of advisors, and over 60 active volunteers, T-TAI said it plans to scale digital learning interventions, strengthen research leadership, and expand partnerships in 2026.
