“Youth”– Africa’s greatest demographic strength
Together, it means: Youth passing through experience — a call to action for learning by doing, not just by studying.
Utidia brings to life the core principles of Youthconomics, the personal and professional philosophy developed by Dr. Faith Nwaobia.
This philosophy repositions African youth not just as beneficiaries of charity or job seekers, but as creators of value within a new economic order powered by digital work, practical learning, and self-leadership.
Youthconomics believes in activating youth participation in the economy before graduation—and Utidia is the practical platform that makes this possible.
Dr. Faith Nwaobia, Founder & President of Utidia and Board Chair of Youthup Global, created Utidia from a place of deep personal experience.
After graduating, he spent six difficult years job-hunting, stuck in underpaid teaching jobs before finally landing a decent role in a bank. That journey of frustration, delay, and disillusionment became the fuel behind his mission:
“No young person should ever have to waste their most productive years waiting for an opportunity.”
Through Utidia, Dr. Faith is building the kind of system he never had—one where talent meets opportunity early, and where experience starts now, not later.
To build Africa’s future workforce through access to digital apprenticeships, mentor-led learning, and career-ready experiences for students and professionals.
At Utidia, we are guided by our foundational PILOT values:
Teamwork – We grow through collaboration and shared success.
