In 2014, Youth Branding University established a partnership with two youth organizations one in Sanoyea District, Bong County, Liberia, West Africa, and the other one in Dakar, Senegal, Africa. Please refer to the pictures below.

Besides Youth Branding University having a presence in Africa, since 2005, our Founder and President has provided business development training to organizations in  Vancouver (Canada), San Jose (Costa Rica), Bangalore (India), Chennai (India), Mumbai (India), New Delhi (India), and Mexico City (Mexico).

Nigeria is the largest country in Africa in terms of population and has approximately 20% of the total out-of-school children population in the world. Adding to this challenge is the demographic pressure with about 11,000 newborns every day that overburdens the system capacity to deliver quality education.

Youth Branding University is elated about renewing our presence in Africa on May 3, 2019 by appointing Ernest Highness Abinokhauno Executive Vice President, YBU Chapter, in Lagos, Nigeria, Africa. 

Lagos has enjoyed tremendous growth, reaching 21 million from just 1.4 million as recently as 1970. The city now generates 25% of Nigeria's total gross domestic product, and it has many millionaires. It is also the 8th fastest growing city in Africa.

Moreover, Lagos is the place to be because they have a strong entrepreneurial culture, fuelled by the numerous business incubators that are popping up,  In July 2015, 1,000 youth entrepreneurs from 52 African countries flocked to Lagos for a 2-day entrepreneurial boot camp. The boot camp was part of the $100 million programme for young African entrepreneurs, developed by the Tony Elumelu Foundation.

On May 3, 2019, Youth Branding University Founder and CEO Jeffery Duncan Henderson was happy to appoint Ernest Highness Abinokhauno as Executive Vice President, Youth Branding University Chapter, Africa.  Now Founder and CEO Henderson is elated to announce that Ernest Highness Abinokhauno was promoted to President, Youth Branding University Chapter, Africa, effective June 5, 2019.

He is passionate about working with youth in Africa as it relates to offering them educational programs in the area of leadership development, college planning, financial destiny, entrepreneurship, career readiness, and economic empowerment.  His appointment will place him in a position to engineer these programs accordingly.

Currently, he is employed with Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries as an Assembly Pastor; a lecturer at the Mountain-Top International Bible College and Senior Editor with the GO’s Editorial Services while also getting involved in building healthy relationships and engaging community services in Lagos, Nigeria.
