One of the highlights of the festival was the unveiling of the Yoruba Youth Empowerment initiative, a program designed to support young people in skill acquisition, entrepreneurship, and creative ventures.
During the launch, Hon. Bamidele Muheedeen Usman, Chief Executive Officer of BMU Group of Companies, made a notable donation in support of the newly introduced empowerment project.

The Yoruba Youth Empowerment initiative is expected to provide training, mentorship, and financial support to young people across different industries, ranging from entertainment to business and technology. Organizers emphasized that the program was born out of the need to encourage self-reliance among Yoruba youths, while also preserving cultural values through modern opportunities. Hon. Usman’s donation, they noted, will serve as a seed investment to kickstart its operations and ensure its sustainability in the long term.
In their remarks, the Abuja Yoruba Fest planning committee and J Krue Entertainment eulogized Hon. Usman for what they described as a rare act of generosity. According to them, his support goes beyond financial assistance, as it demonstrates genuine concern for the empowerment of young people. “Hon. Usman has proven that leaders in the private sector can play a vital role in securing the future of our youths. His kindness will be remembered as a major turning point for this initiative,” one of the organizers said.
The festival closed on a celebratory note, with cultural performances, music, and networking sessions that brought together people from across Nigeria. As the Yoruba Youth Empowerment program takes off, Hon. Usman’s donation is expected to set the tone for other philanthropists and business leaders to follow suit. For the youths in attendance, the Abuja Yoruba Fest was more than just a cultural gathering — it was the beginning of a renewed hope for empowerment, growth, and opportunity.
